Starters And Alternators

How to diagnose electrical / electronic problems?

Listen to the sound of the alternator when the engine is running. When there is a problem, you can hear a sort of creaking noise from the front of the vehicle. When you turn on electrical devices, the crackle gets louder.

Turn on the radio. Run the engine and tune your radio to one end of the AM band : tune between two stations. If you hear a crackling or hissing noise when you step on the accelerator, it is likely that the alternator is defective. If so, have it examined by your Tabangi Service Centre expert.
