Stator Test: Cs144
- Scribe end frames to facilitate reassembly. Remove through bolts and separate end frames. Remove stator lead attaching nuts and remove stator.
- With ohmmeter set to its highest range, ensure coil is not grounded to stator core. See Fig 1
. Ohmmeter should indicate infinite resistance. If ohmmeter does not indicate infinity, replace stator. Stator cannot be checked for opens or shorts with ohmmeter.
- To reassemble alternator, reverse disassembly procedure. Retain the brushes with the brush retaining pin during reassembly. See Figure
. Remove retaining pin after tightening through bolts.
