Bearings
Result: The alternator bearings are OK.
Proceed to Test Step 5.
Result: The alternator bearings are NOT OK.
Repair: Repair or replace the damaged alternator.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 5.
5. Check the Operation of the Alternator and Regulator
A. Verify that the alternator and/or the regulator is operating correctly.
Operation
Result: The alternator and or regulator are operating correctly.
Proceed to Test Step 6.
Result: The alternator and/or regulator are not operating correctly.
Repair: Repair or replace the damaged alternator.
Refer to Special Instruction, REHS0354, "Charging System Troubleshooting" for additional information.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 6.
6. Inspect the Charging Circuit
A. Inspect the battery cables, wiring, and connections in the charging circuit.
B. Clean all connections and tighten all connections.
Charging Circuit
