Just in the throes of my 2 year old non-OEM alternator failing again, so I'm taking on rebuilding the original Denso.
This post is to help any others troubleshooting or rebuilding.
There's a lot of stuff on the web out there, and several YouTube vids I found, which are also added as links in one of the docs, but Chat GPT's output was by far the best summary and cut directly to the chase, compared to me doing several hours of my own research beforehand. I've also included part links it found alongside others posted by members on here, which are still viable as of today's post in September 2025.
TL;DR: the test sheet is the single sheet summary to print and take to the car with meter in hand, if you know what you are doing.
