STATOR TESTING
CHARGE COIL
Three tests can be performed using a multi-meter to
determine the condition of the stator (alternator).
TEST 1: RESISTANCE VALUE OF EACH STATOR LEG
Measure the resistance value of each of the three stator
legs: Y1 to Y2, Y1 to Y3, and Y2 to Y3. Each test should
measure:

NOTICE
If there are any significant variations in ohm readings
between the three legs it is an indication that one of the
stator legs may be weak or failed.
TEST 2: RESISTANCE VALUE OF EACH STATOR LEG
TO GROUND
Measure the resistance value of each of the stator legs to
ground: Y1 to Ground, Y2 to Ground, Y3 to Ground.
Each test should measure:

NOTICE
Any measurement other than Infinity (open) will indicate
a failed or shorted stator leg.
TEST 3: MEASURE AC VOLTAGE OUTPUT OF EACH
STATOR LEG AT CHARGING RPM
1. Set the selector dial to measure AC Voltage.
2. Start the engine and let it idle.
3. While holding the engine at a specified RPM,
separately measure the voltage across each ‘leg’ of
the stator by connecting the meter leads to the wires
leading from the alternator (Y1 to Y2, Y1 to Y3, Y2 to
Y3).
4. Refer to the following table for approximate AC
Voltage readings according to RPM. Test each leg at
the specified RPM in the table.
