Generator Load Test

Ensure drive belt is in good condition. Connect charging system load tester in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Start and run engine at 2000 RPM, apply load until generator output levels off. Generator output should be at least 87 amps at 2000 RPM. With engine running, turn A/C (if equipped) and headlights on, and turn blower motor to high speed. Increase engine speed to 2000 RPM. Voltage should increase a minimum of .5 volt above base voltage.
