Alternator Brush: Testing and Inspection




INSPECT BRUSHES
Using a vernier caliper, measure the exposed brush length.

Standard exposed length: 10.5 mm (0.413 in.)
Minimum exposed length: 1.5 mm (0.059 in.)

If the exposed length is less than minimum, replace the brushes and brush holder assembly.
