Voltmeter
Battery
This test determines if the voltage regulator is
correctly controlling the generator output voltage.
(1) Be sure to check the following:
l
Generator installation and wiring connec-
tions
l
Battery fully charged.
(Refer to GROUP 54 Battery.)
l
Generator drive belt tension (Refer to
GROUP 00 Maintenance Service.)
l Fusible link
l
Abnormal noise from the generator while
the engine is running
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
(3) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(4) Connect a digital-type voltmeter between the
generator terminal and the ground.
(Connect the lead of the voltmeter to the
terminal. Connect the lead of the
voltmeter to a ground or to the battery
terminal.)
(5) Disconnect the generator output wire from the
generator terminal.
(6) Connect a DC test ammeter with a range of
in series between the “B” terminal and
the disconnected output wire. (Connect the
lead of the ammeter to the terminal.
Connect the lead of the ammeter to the
disconnected output wire.)

(8) Reconnect the negative battery
(9) Turn the ignition switch ON position and
check that the the voltmeter is equal
to the battery voltage.
NOTE
If the voltage is’ 0 the cause is probably
an open circuit in the wire or fusible link between
