Section 3:  Advanced Troubleshooting

Yes

No

Alternator is defective.

Unplug alternator-to-regulator 4-socket harness from regulator. Connect red lead from DMM to pin A in 

plug. Connect black lead to pin D in plug. Does resistance read 1.8 ± 2.2 ohms?

Chart 3b 

– 

No 28 V Alternator Output – Test OVCO Circuit

Yes

No

Replace existing regulator with known good regulator. 

Run engine. Does OVCO trip?

Alternator is defective.

Original regulator is 

defective.

Chart 3a 

– 

 No 14 V Alternator Output – Test OVCO Circuit

Yes

No

With red lead from DMM connected to pin A in plug, connect black lead to B– terminal. Does 
resistance read OL (out of limits)? 

Alternator is defective.

Chart 3 

– 

 OVCO Trip – Determine 28 V or 14 V

Yes

No

28 V side tripped OVCO circuit. 

Go to Chart 3b.

With meter red lead on 28 V B+ at battery and black lead on chassis ground, start engine. 

Watch meter dial: Does meter read charge voltage above 29 V?

14 V side tripped OVCO circuit. 

Go to Chart 3a.
