Default Re: 1989 charging system

From the service guide:
Check for charging voltage as follows:
1) Raise the vehicle (see procedure in Section
B) so that both rear wheels are free to rotate.
2) With the engine off, measure the voltage at
the battery’s terminals by placing the negative
(-) probe on the negative (-) post and the
positive (+) probe on the positive (+) post of
the battery. Note the reading.
3) Attach the DC voltmeter across the regulator’s
red and black leads.
4) Start the engine and accelerate to governed
speed.
5) The meter should read higher than before
starting the engine. In a reasonable amount
of time, the reading should settle between 14
and 15 volts, indicating the regulator is functioning
properly.
6) If no increase over battery voltage is
observed, there is a malfunction in the charging
circuit.
7) If the reading is above 15 volts, check to
assure the wiring harness and generator field
winding (green lead) is not grounded. If it is
not, replace the regulator.
If the reading is below 14 volts, disconnect
the regulator’s green field wire from the system
harness. Temporarily connect the green
field wire to ground. If the voltage rises above
its prior reading, replace the regulator.
9) If the above procedures do not correct the
problem, check for faults in the vehicles wiring
harness and/or generator.
