PRUEBA 2: Comprobación de la continuidad

del cable Bat (+)

El siguiente paso es asegurarse de que el cable de la batería, que conecta el

terminal positivo de la batería a la parte trasera del alternador, no tenga un
"abierto".

In other words, we're gonna' make sure, with a continuity test, that this cable is
really able to deliver all of the alternator's output to the battery.

IMPORTANT: This test involves disconnecting the battery negative cable from the
battery negative terminal before testing this circuit with your multimeter in Ohms
mode.

This is what you'll need to do:

1 Disconnect the negative battery cable terminal from the battery

negative post. The positive cable remains connected.

IMPORTANT: Don't continue to the next step without first

disconnecting the negative cable from the negative battery post.

2 With the negative battery cable disconnected from the negative

battery post, turn on your multimeter and select Ohms mode.

3 Locate the stud that the battery current output wire connects to
on the back of the alternator. This wire is attached with a nut to the
stud. Place your multimeter's RED test lead on the stud to which this
wire is connected to.

The orange arrow in the photo above points to this stud.

4 With the black multimeter test lead probe the center of the battery
positive post on your S10/S15's battery.

5 You'll get one of two results.

1.) The multimeter WILL NOT register continuity and it will register the
letters OL (which means over limit).

2.) If the battery wire does have continuity, your multimeter will register
an Ohms reading of 0.5 Ohms or less.

Let's take a look at what your results mean:

CASE 1: Your multimeter registered continuity: This is good, since it indicates

that the entire circuit is OK and that if the alternator were charging the battery, this
charge would actually reach the battery.

There's one more test to do. This one involves checking the condition of the
IGN/GAUGES fuse inside your S10 (or S15). For this test, go to: TEST 3: Checking
The Alternator Circuit Fuse.

CASE 2: Your multimeter DID NOT register continuity: This result tells you that
the alternator's BATTERY wire has an open. This means that the alternator's
charge is not reaching the battery.

On all of the S10 and S15s covered by this tutorial, this alternator battery wire
connects directly to the battery positive cable/terminal. To be a bit more specific,
there's no fusible link that attaches to this battery cable. So if your multimeter
indicates this wire is open, you'll need to replace it with a new one and of the same
gauge (thickness).

TEST 3: Checking The Alternator Circuit Fuse

The fuse that you need to check and make sure IS NOT blown is the fuse labeled
with the #4 in the illustration above. This fuse is labeled as the IGN/GAUGES fuse
on the fuse panel.

The fuse panel is located under the driver-side dash next to the parking brake.

RESULTADO DE LA COMPROBACIÓN DEL FUSIBLE: Si en la PRUEBA 1 el

voltaje de la batería (con el motor en marcha) estaba por debajo de 12,5 Voltios, en
la PRUEBA 2 el circuito de salida de la batería tiene continuidad y el fusible n. ° 4
está bien, entonces el alternador está defectuoso y reemplazarlo debería resolver
el problema. sin condición de carga.
