Test
1. Replace burned out lights.
2. If voltage is 35 volts or more , stator
is OK. Circuitry on unit that grounds
braking lead is shorted.
If voltage is less than 35 volts , test
stator using an ohmmeter (Test 3).
3. With the engine stopped, measure the
resistance from braking lead to ground
using an ohmmeter.
3. If resistance is approximately
0.2-0.4 ohms , stator is OK.
If resistance is 0 ohms , stator is shorted.
Replace stator.
If resistance is infi nity ohms , stator or
lighting lead is open. Replace stator.
Problem
Conclusion
1. Make sure lights are not burned out.
2. Disconnect the braking lead (green) from
the wiring harness.
With engine running at 3400 RPM,
measure voltage from braking lead to
ground using an AC voltmeter.
