Section 139 (Starting System & Charging System (H4SO)): Generator: Inspection: Stator

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Continuity test
Inspect the stator coil for continuity between each end of the lead wires. If resistance is 1 Mohm or more, the lead wire is broken, and so replace the stator assembly.

Insulation test
Inspect the stator coil for continuity between stator core and each end of lead wire. If resistance is 1 ohm or less, the stator coil is grounded, and so replace the stator assembly.
