1. Remove the end cover, then take out the regulator assembly by removing the two screws.
2. Measure the length of the alternator brushes with a vernier caliper.
Alternator Brush Length: Standard: 12.5 mm (0.49 in) Service Limit: 2.5 mm (0.10 in)
If the brushes are not within the service limit, replace the regulator assembly.
1. Measure the resistance between the L and IG terminals.
Standard: 12012 (about)
If the resistance is not within the standard, replace the regulator assembly.
2. Check for continuity between the IG and A, FR and C terminals. There should be continuity in only one direction.
If there is continuity in both directions, replace the regulator assembly.
