Generator Output Test

  1. Ensure generator belt tension is correct. Verify battery voltage is present at terminal "B". If battery voltage is not present, circuit from battery to generator is open. Repair as required.
  2. Disconnect battery ground cable. Disconnect output wire from terminal "B" of generator. Connect an ammeter between terminal "B" and connector "B". Reconnect battery ground cable. Start engine. Turn on headlights and all accessories. Increase engine speed to 2500-3000 RPM, and observe maximum current readout on ammeter. Ammeter reading should be at least 65 amps. If test is 65 amps or more, generator is okay. If alternator output is not as specified, replace generator.
