Section 3: Advanced Troubleshooting
Self-energized alternator may have lost magnetism. Touch steel tool to shaft to detect
any magnetism. Is shaft magnetized?
Install a jumper from B+ terminal on alternator to
E terminal on regulator. Momentarily (1 sec.) jumper
E terminal on regulator to D+ terminal on regulator.
Touch shaft with steel tool to detect significant mag-
netism. Is shaft magnetized?
Yes
No
Yes
No
Retest alternator.
Unplug alternator-to-regulator harness. Connect
DMM across pin D and pin C in harness plug.
Does battery voltage exist?
Yes
No
Alternator is defective.
