Charging System: Testing and Inspection

FAULT DIAGNOSIS HINTS
1. Check the battery voltage on generator 2.
2. Inspect fuse 17 and check that it is supplied with current.
3. Check that the charging lamp bulb is intact.
4. Check connectors and the wiring harness as well as the generator's ground connection.
5. Check that terminal D+ on the generator is supplied with current.
6. Start the engine and take a voltage reading across B+ on the generator and ground. Also take a voltage reading across D+ on the generator and ground.

The difference between the two voltage readings should not exceed 0.7 Volts.
