Generator No Load Test
- Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Switch battery tester to voltmeter function.
- Connect positive lead to generator battery terminal wire (Black/Orange wire). Connect negative lead to ground.
- With the engine running at 2000 RPM, check the generator output voltage. The voltage should be between 13.0 and 15.0 volts. If voltage output is 13-15 volts, generator is operating normally. If output is not 13-15 volts, diagnose by symptom. See SYMPTOM INDEX table under SYSTEM TESTS.
