Bench Testing: Stator
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Scion xB. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Connect ohmmeter between 2 stator leads. Continuity should exist between all stator leads. Connect ohmmeter between each stator lead and metal core. Continuity should not exist. If stator does not test as indicated, replace stator.
