Regulator Bypass Test.
NOTE
Perform this test only when instructed from tables 6-A.7 and 6-B.
(a) Prepare alternator as in full load test.
NOTE
Use jumper wire rated for 15 amps.
(b) Disconnect alternator connector from regulator. With alternator spinning, use jumper wire and
short pin A of connector to ground momentarily. Record results.
(c) Amperage should rise within 10% of rated output with jumper wire connected and fall with
jumper disconnected. Refer to Table 6-C, Regulator Bypass Test, for diagnosis.
10.
Turn test stand master power switch and load switch to OFF.
11.
Disconnect jumper wires from terminals on test stand and alternator.
12.

DIAGNOSIS
AMPS RISE
AMPS FALL
Alternator OK. See note. Replace regulator only if
low AMPS (80-119)/low VOLTS (21-25) are indicated
in table 6-A.7 and/or table 6-B.
NO CHANGE
NO CHANGE
Alternator must be repaired. Refer to Static Testing.
b. Disassembly
NOTE
Complete alternator disassembly is not required for static testing.
