7. Funtzionamendua
After installation, start the vehicle and observe the dashboard warning lights. The battery light should turn off shortly after the engine starts. Check the vehicle's voltage gauge (if equipped) or use a multimeter to verify that the charging system is operating correctly, typically between 13.5V and 14.8V at idle.
A slight whine may be audible immediately after installation, which often dissipates after a short period of operation as the new components settle. If the battery light remains on or flickers, or if abnormal noises persist, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

- Periodically inspect the serpentine belt for wear, cracks, or proper tension. A worn or loose belt can affect alternator performance.
- Ensure battery terminals are clean and tight to maintain good electrical conductivity.
- Avoid exposing the alternator to excessive moisture or contaminants.
