note |
- For the nominal current output, refer to the
Alternator Specifications.
- Because the current from the battery will soon drop
after the engine is started, the above step should
be carried out as quickly as possible in order to
obtain the maximum current output value.
- The current output value will depend on the
electrical load and the temperature of the
alternator body.
- If the electrical load is small while testing, the
specified level of current may not be output even
though the alternator is normal. In such cases,
increase the electrical load by leaving the
headlamps turned on for some time to discharge the
battery or by using the lighting system in another
vehicle, and then test again.
- The specified level of current also may not be
output if the temperature of the alternator body or
the ambient temperature is too high. In such cases,
cool the alternator and then test again.
