If they aretested in this manner, remove the stator and be sure thatthe red and black leads are disconnected from theregulator and not touching each other. Disconnect thecapacitor across the lower end of the heat sinks.Diodes are tested to insure that they only pass current inone direction. Diodes which do not allow current to flowin either direction are open while diodes passing currentboth ways are shorted. Diodes should be checked with adiode tester, but in emergencies where one is notavailable, an ohmmeter or a battery powered test lightmay be substituted.Positive Heat Sink TestsThe positive heat sink is the one to which the positiveoutput terminal is connected. The square hole in theterminal end of the positive heat sink is larger than theterminal hole of the negative heat sink.1.Connect the positive lead of the diode tester,ohmmeter, or test light to the positive heat sinkand touch the negative test lead to each of thethree diode terminals (Test 1, Figure 15). A highresistance should be indicated and if a test lightis being used, it should not light. If any of thethree diodes shows a low resistance, or the testlamp lights, the diodeis shorted. SeeIMPORTANT on next page.Figure 15 - Positive Heat Sink Tests.2.Reverse the test leads so that the negative testlead is connected to the positive heat sink. Thepositive test lead should now be touched to eachdiode terminal (Test 2, Figure 15). A lowresistance reading should be obtained. If a highresistance reading is obtained, or the test lampfails to light, an open diode is indicated. SeeIMPORTANT on next page.Negative Heat Sink Tests1.Connect the negative test lead to the negativeheat sink and touch the positive test lead to eachdiode terminal (Test 1, Figure 16). If a lowresistance reading is obtained, or if the test lamplights, the diode is shorted. See IMPORTANTon next page.CTS-4043A - Chapter II -- Page 7
