Generator Inspection: Rectifier
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Suzuki SX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Using ohmmeter, check continuity between the following terminals.
- "B" terminal (1) and each diode lead (3)
- "E" terminal (2) and each diode lead (3)
Check continuity in both directions by interchanging the probes.
Rectifier is normal if there is continuity only in one direction.
If there is no continuity or there is continuity in both directions, replace rectifier (4).
