Generator Bench Tests

Integral Rear Mount Regulator, Internal Fan Generator

NOTE: The integral rear mount regulator - internal fan type generator is serviced as an assembly only.

Replace generator as required after performing generator on-vehicle tests.

Capacitor
The radio voltage regulator capacitor connected across the heat sinks may be tested on a capacitor tester if available. Its value is 0.158 MFD, and 100 working volts dc.

In the absence of a capacitor tester, the unit may be checked for shorts by means of an ohmmeter connected across the terminals. A reading under 20 milli-ohms indicates a shorted or leaking radio voltage regulator capacitor which should be replaced.
