Test A

  1. With ignition on, engine off, inspect appropriate fuses and/or fusible links. See FUSE IDENTIFICATION  table. Replace fuses and/or fusible links as necessary. If okay, go to next step.
  2. Measure voltage between generator B+ terminal (Black/Orange wire) and ground. If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not present, repair Black/Orange wire. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . Check system operation.
  3. Disconnect generator 3-pin connector. Measure voltage between generator connector terminal "A" (Yellow/White wire) and ground. If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not available, repair Yellow/White wire. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . Check system operation.
  4. Reconnect generator 3-pin connector. Start engine. Backprobe 3-pin connector terminal "I" (Light Green/Red wire) with voltmeter positive probe. Connect voltmeter negative probe to ground. If voltage is greater than one volt, replace generator. See GENERATOR  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If voltage is one volt or less, repair Light Green/Red wire between generator and instrument cluster. See WIRING DIAGRAMS .
