TESTING
1.
Install alternator radio interference suppression capacitor (WP 0146 00).
2.
Connect multimeter voltage leads to output and ground terminals on alternator.
3.
Turn battery disconnect switch to ON position and start engine (TM 5-3805-261-10).
4.
Check voltage. If voltage is not 26.5 to 28, proceed to step 6.
NOTE
Alternator may not charge and still be good. Attempt to restore residual magnetic field prior to replacing.
5.
Use a jumper wire to connect positive output terminal of alternator to "R" (relay) terminal on Delco alternators (D+ ter-
minal on Bosch alternators) for approximately 2 seconds. This temporary connection should provide sufficient current
from batteries to restore residual magnetic field in alternator.
6.
Check voltage. If voltage is still not 26.5 to 28, notify Direct Support Maintenance.
7.
Stop engine.
8.
Close left and right side screen doors (WP 0055 00).
