Section 17 (Starting/Charging Systems (H4SO)): Generator: Inspection: Stator

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Subaru Baja. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Continuity test
Inspect the stator coil for continuity between each end of the lead wires. If resistance is 1 M Ω or more, the lead wire is broken, and so replace the stator assembly.

Insulation test
Inspect the stator coil for continuity between stator core and each end of lead wire. If resistance is 1 Ω or less, the stator coil is grounded, and so replace the stator assembly.
