GASOLINE VEHICLE - TROUBLESHOOTING
AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Test Procedures
18
TEST PROCEDURE 13 – Voltage Regulator
See General Warnings on page 1-2.
NOTE: This is a voltage test.
Keep the battery connected while performing this test procedure.
1. If necessary, see Testing Basics on page 18-10.
2. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position and the neutral lockout switch in the MAINTENANCE
position. Chock the wheels.
3. Ensure that the wires are connected correctly and are tight. If they are not, rewire or tighten as necessary.
4. Check the engine RPM setting to ensure that it is adjusted correctly. See Engine RPM Adjustment on page
21-13.
5. With the battery in good condition and fully charged, run the engine for several minutes to bring the voltage
regulator to operating temperature.
6. Turn the key switch to the OFF position, killing the engine. Using a multimeter set to 20 volts DC, place the red
(+) probe on the large post of the solenoid with the red wire from the voltage regulator attached. Place the black
(–) probe on the negative (–) battery post
(Figure 18-10, Page 18-27) . Turn the key switch to the ON position.
Press the accelerator to start the engine and run it at full governed speed. If the reading is between 14.7 and 15.3
volts, the regulator is good. If the reading is lower than 14.7 volts but rising steadily, check battery condition. If the
reading is lower than 14.7 volts and not rising, and the starter/generator is good; or if the reading is over 15.3 volts
and continues to rise, replace voltage regulator.
See Voltage Regulator Removal, Section 19, Page 19-15.
