 * 1) Diagnose charging system problems that cause a no charge, a low charge, or an over-charge condition; determine needed repairs.
 * 2) Inspect, reinstall and/or replace pulleys, tensioners and drive belts; adjust belts and check alignment.
 * 3) Perform charging system voltage output test; determine needed repairs.
 * 4) Perform charging system current output test; determine needed repairs.
 * 5) Inspect and test generator (alternator) control components including computers/regulators; determine needed repairs.
 * 6) Perform charging circuit voltage drop tests; determine needed repairs.
 * 7) Inspect, test, repair and/or replace connectors and wires of charging system circuits.
 * 8) Remove, inspect, and replace generator (alternator).
