Abnormal Waveforms

Identification of abnormal waveforms is easier when there is a large output current (regulator is not operating). Waveforms can be observed when the headlights are illuminated. Check the conditions of the charge light (illuminated/not illuminated) also, and carry out a total check. See Fig 1 .
