Bench Testing: Rotor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Honda Prelude, 2000 Honda Civic, and 2000 Honda CR-V. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Using an ohmmeter, ensure continuity (1.8-3.0 ohms on Civic and CR-V) exists between rotor slip rings. See Fig 1 . If continuity does not exist, replace generator. Ensure continuity does not exist between slip rings and rotor, or between slip rings and rotor shaft. If continuity exists, replace generator.
