PROCEDURE

1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. With the ignition ON and the engine stopped, the battery charge warning lamp should illuminate.

3. Отсоедините разъем от резистора предварительного возбуждения генератора.

3. Disconnect the connector from the alternator pre-excitation resistor.
Connect the ohmmeter to terminals 1 and 3 of the connector on the component side. Connect the positive (+) ohmmeter lead to terminal 3 and the negative (–) lead to terminal 1.

If the ohmmeter is connected incorrectly, it will not show a resistance value.

Result

PROCEDURE

1. If the ohmmeter shows continuity, the circuit is in good condition. If there is no continuity, the circuit is faulty.
2. If there is no continuity only at step 3, inspect and repair the warning lamp circuit. If there is no continuity only at step 2, inspect the alternator pre-excitation resistor.

If there is no continuity at only one of steps 2 and 3, the system is operating normally; however, for more reliable operation, the circuit should be inspected.
