|Prior to performing test, check for proper alternator belt tension and proper electrical connections at alternator. Also check battery condition |

|and for blown fuses at fuse panel and engine compartment relay panel. |

|Disconnect electrical connector from alternator. |

|With ignition switch On, check for battery voltage at alternator connector terminals IG and S On 1989 models or IG and on 1990-91 models, Figs. 3 |

|and 4. If battery voltage is indicated at both terminals, proceed to step 3. If no voltage is indicated, check for the following: |

|On 1989 models, check for open circuits in black/yellow wire between fuse panel and voltage regulator, and white/green wire between engine |

|compartment relay panel and voltage regulator. |

|On 1990-91 models, check for open circuit in white/green wire between engine compartment relay panel and voltage regulator. |

|On all models, check for blown fuse in fuse panel. |

|To further test alternator and regulator, a Sun Vat 40 or other suitable charging system tester should be used. Follow tester manufacturer's |

|instructions for test connections and settings. When performing alternator and regulator tests with tester note the following: |

|When checking alternator output, operate engine at 2000 RPM with engine cooling fan off. Apply a load to charging system so that voltage drops to |

|no lower than 12 volts. Tester readings should be within 10 amps of readings indicated in Figs. 5 through 7. If readings are within specification, |

|charging system is operating properly, refer to CHARGE WARNING LAMP TEST . If readings are not within specification, proceed to step b. |

|Remove protective cover from alternator end cover. Perform full field test by inserting a suitable tool into full field access hole located on end |

|cover, Figs. 8 & 9. When alternator is in full field, system voltage will rise quickly.Do not allow voltage to exceed 18 volts or damage to |

|electrical system may result. Note tester amperage readings with alternator in full field. If readings are now within specification, replace |

|voltage regulator. If readings are still not within specification, replace alternator. |
