NOTE
If the serviceman is familiar with the troubleshooting procedure and procedures
for checking components, the following table of resistance values may save time
in troubleshooting. It should be noted that these values are approximate and
could change with new component changes.

(1)
Forward & reverse resistance must be approximately the same.
(2)
Gate to cathode forward & reverse resistance Is 10 - 200 and should be about the same
(3)
Earlier generators with old Al module (brown in color) - resistance should be 0-5000
ohms. Later generators or generators with replacement Al module (black In color) -
resistance should be 0-500 ohms.
