Initial Troubleshooting Procedure
- CHECK THE RESISTANCE IN EXCITATION CIRCUIT. This step is only for alternators with external excitation when the terminal for excitation is labeled: "1", "REG" and "D+". See "Alternator Specifications" if the method of excitation is unknown. Go to Step 3 if your alternator is self-excited. If the alternators terminal for excitation is labeled "IG" Go to Step 2.
- Turn the key start switch to the ON position.
- Verify voltage at the excitation terminal. Connect the red lead from a multimeter to the excitation terminal. Connect the black lead to a ground source (the case of alternator).
- Read the voltage that is shown on the multimeter.
Expected Result: The voltage reads at least .2 volts.
Results:
- YES - Voltage reads .2 volts or more. The excitation circuit is correct. Proceed to Step 3.
- NO - Voltage is less than .2 volts. There is a fault in the wiring harness to the alternator or there is a poor electrical connection. Correct the problem and operate the machine. Watch for a recurrence of the problem.
- YES - Voltage reads .2 volts or more. The excitation circuit is correct. Proceed to Step 3.
- CHECK THE RESISTANCE IN THE EXCITATION CIRCUIT (CONTINUED). This step is only for alternators with external excitation when the terminal for excitation is labeled: "IG". See "Alternator Specifications" if the method of excitation is unknown. Go to Step 3 if your alternator is self-excited.
- Turn the key start switch to the ON position.
- Verify voltage at the excitation terminal. Connect the red lead from a multimeter to the excitation terminal. Connect the black lead to a ground source (the case of the alternator).
Note: For Denso G3B, K3A, and L3A alternators, Insert a 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe Group into the rear of the middle wire in the connector. See figure 1 below. Insert the probe ("spoon" lead) between the black seal that surrounds the wire and the outer shell of the connector. Do not insert the probe between the wire insulation and the black seal. This terminal (IG) is the terminal for excitation.
- Read the voltage that is shown on the multimeter.
Expected Result: The voltage is within .5 volts of battery voltage.
Results:
- YES - Voltage reads battery voltage. The excitation circuit is correct. Proceed to Step 3.
- NO - Voltage is lower than .5 volts of the battery voltage. There is a fault in the wiring harness to the alternator or there is a poor electrical connection. Correct the problem and operate the machine. Watch for a recurrence of the problem.

Results:
- YES -Voltage is higher than the voltage observed in the previous Step 3. The voltage is also lower than the maximum voltage that is listed in the specifications for the alternator. The alternator is charging partially. See the following diagnostic flow chart for reference in continued testing. Proceed to "T1 Alternator Output - Test".
- YES - Voltage is higher than the voltage observed in the previous Step 3. The voltage is also higher than the maximum voltage that is listed in the specifications for the alternator. The alternator is over charging. Proceed to "T8 Alternator Overcharging - Test".
- NO - Voltage is not higher than the voltage that was observed in Step 3. Proceed to "T4 Alternator Drive System - Check".

The alternator is charging partially. See the following diagnostic flow chart for reference in continued testing. Proceed to "T1 Alternator Output - Test".
Note: Severely discharged batteries can cause low system voltage. Severely discharged batteries can occur even while the engine is running above idle, and the alternator is working properly. Proper low engine idle is also important. Most of the alternators in Caterpillar applications are self-excited. These alternators must exceed a turn-on speed before charging will begin. Alternator output can be low at idle.
