Some of you may have seen my previous thread. Today I will be replacing the alternator on my Focus and I want to know what the most reliable way to monitor it's output voltage is.
Currently I am planning on using my smartphone and Torque Pro ODBII app to monitor the system voltage at the adapter. I have watched it when the old alternator was failing and it seems to be pretty closely representative of the alternator output and matched the numbers I was getting at the battery.
Is this a sufficient way to monitor the health of the alternator and charging system?
