Bench Testing: Stator

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Suzuki Swift and 1995 Suzuki Swift. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To test stator for an open circuit, use ohmmeter to check for continuity between each electrical lead on the stator. See Fig 1 .
Continuity should exist between all electrical leads. Replace stator if no continuity exists between any electrical leads.
To test stator for a grounded circuit, use ohmmeter to check for continuity between each electrical lead on the stator and the outside of the stator. See Fig 1 . Replace stator if continuity exists between any electrical lead and the outside of the stator.
