Rectifier Diodes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1998 Acura SLX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Check continuity between rectifier assembly terminals "E" and P1-P4. See Fig 1. Note ohmmeter reading. Reverse leads, and repeat test. Continuity should only be present in one direction. If continuity is not as specified, replace rectifier assembly.
