Correct voltage to Alternator? [saabnow]

Subject: Correct voltage to Alternator? ================= Greetings all,
The alternator stopped charging the battery, but tests out OK at the parts stores. I actually still suspect the alternator's at fault, but since the car's had a few electrical quirks, I want to first verify that the voltage to the D+ (smaller) terminal on the alternator is what it should be. Seems it should be closer to 12V than 0v, and I'm getting 3.6V. Anyone know off-hand how much voltage is needed to reliably pre-charge the alternator field so I can be sure that circuit's OK? Bently manual doesn't specify.
Thanks much,
-Dick 92 900 Conv, 16v T
