sure that the alternator support is
properly positioned and that the timing
belts are working properly. If so,
replace the alternator.

The alternator output voltage is abnormally high.
Check that there are no connection problems. If
not, replace the alternator.

VOLTAGE ALTERNA
xx.xx V LOW
The alternator does not provide enough current
for charging the electrical system and the battery.
Check the belts, and ensure that the alternator is
running when the engine is on. If the belts slip or
are broken, replace them and re-test. Check the
connection between the alternator and the battery.
If the connection is bad, clean or replace the cable
and re-test. If the belts and connection are in good
condition, replace the alternator.
