Decision Interpretation
LOW OUTPUT Alternator not providing sufficient current to power the
system’s electrical loads and charge the battery.
√ Check the belts to ensure the alternator is rotating
with the engine running. Replace broken or
slipping belts and retest.
√ Check the connections from the alternator to
the battery. If the connection is loose or heavily
corroded, clean or replace the cable and retest.
HIGH OUTPUT Alternator voltage output exceeds the normal limits.
√ Make sure there are no loose connections and
the ground connection is normal. If there are no
connection problems, replace the regulator. Most
alternators have a built-in regulator that requires
replacing the alternator. In older vehicles that
use external voltage regulators, you may need to
replace only the voltage regulator.
EXCESSIVE
RIPPLE
Excessive AC ripple detected.
√ One or more diodes in the alternator is not
functioning or there is stator damage.
