Don't mean to break in here but I seem to remember going through this talk with my lead tech one time. They had the bleed test in the manuals untill 03 then I did not see it any more and I wonder if they changed something that year that might change the readings? I've noticed TQ is really good with electrical and probably forgot more then I will ever know, but before you disconnect everything did you do the AC output test at the stator pins, it just takes a minute and the readings should be as TQ quoted earlier. Not bucking the system here but in the last ten years I've only replaced one bad vr in tc's and that one was under a product campaign, it could be the vr, just trying to save you a trip to the dealership if possable.
