manufacturer specifications for the correct limit, as it will vary by vehicle type
and manufacturer.
LOW CHARGING VOLTS WHEN TESTING AT IDLE
The alternator is not providing sufficient current to the battery. Check the belts
to ensure the alternator is rotating with engine running.
If the belts are slipping or broken, replace the belts and retest. Check the
connections from the alternator to the battery. If the connection is loose or
heavily corroded, clean or replace the cable and retest. If the belts and
connections are in good condition, replace the alternator.
RIPPLE TEST RESULTS
NORMAL RIPPLE DETECTED
Diodes function well in the alternator / starter.
NO RIPPLE DETECTED
Ripple is not detected.
EXCESS RIPPLE DETECTED
One or more diodes in the alternator are not functioning or there is stator
damage. Check to ensure the alternator mounting is sturdy and that the belts
are in good shape and functioning properly. If the mounting and belts are
good, replace the alternator.
LOAD ON TEST RESULTS
CHARGING SYSTEM NORMAL WHEN LOAD ON TESTING
The system is showing normal output from the alternator. No problem
detected.
CHARGING SYSTEM HIGH WHEN LOAD ON TESTING
The voltage output from the alternator to the battery exceeds the normal limits
of a functioning regulator.
Check to ensure there are no loose connections and that the ground
connection is normal. If there are no connection issues, replace the regulator.
