4. Measure:
Rectifier/regulator output voltage
Below specification →
 Replace the recti-
fier/regulator.
NOTE:
Before measuring the output peak voltage,
make sure that the battery is fully charged.
The output voltage gradually increases after
the engine is started, therefore, maintain the
specified engine speed for approximately 1
minute to measure the output voltage.
