Bench Testing: Diodes
NOTE:
Testing information not available for 4.7L equipped vehicles with towing package.
- With diode/rectifier assembly removed and on bench, contact positive diode plate terminal with one ohmmeter probe. Using other ohmmeter probe, contact each diode lead in same plate. Note ohmmeter reading. Reverse ohmmeter probes, and repeat tests for all diodes.
- All diodes should show continuity in one direction and no continuity in opposite direction. If any diode is defective, replace diode/rectifier assembly.
