Except Civic
- Remove diode (rectifier) assembly from generator. Check for continuity in both directions by reversing test probes between terminal "B" and terminals P1
, P2
, P3
and P4
. Check for continuity in both directions between diode terminal "E" (ground) and terminals P1
, P2
, P3
and P4
. See Fig 1
.
- All diodes should show continuity in one direction and no continuity in opposite direction. If any diode does not test as specified, replace entire diode (rectifier) assembly.
