Checking the diodes
NOTE: Diodes only conduct the current in one direction. They block in
the other direction.
Diodes can have 2 defects:
– the diode has no continuity.
– the diode has continuity in both directions.
Various malfunctions can occur, depending on the type of defect.
Each diode
1 (950/990 Adventure), 2 (990 Super Duke) and 3 (950
Supermoto) is plugged into a bipolar connector (connector AI)
Functional check:
– Connect a suitable ohmmeter to the diode and check the diode for
continuity.
– Connect the ohmmeter in the other direction and check if the diode
is blocked.
