Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Stator and Rectifier
- Using ohmmeter (1), check continuity between all pairs of leads (2) and (3).
If there is no continuity, replace stator.
- Using ohmmeter (1), check continuity between the following terminals.
- "B" terminal (2) and each coil lead (4)
- Ground (3) and each coil lead (4).
Switch the positive (+) side prove and negative (-) side and measure to check continuity in both polarity directions.
If there is continuity in only one polarity direction, stator coil is normal.
If there is no continuity with either polarity or there is continuity with both polarities, replace stator.
