Just because it's brushless doesn't mean it can't be flashed externally or has no residual - both types of design rely on some sort of bootstrap arrangement to get things going.
If you find the field windings, you can put 12V to them to get the generator to produce output. Based on the field voltage, it may or may not produce rated voltage, but that's not the point of the exercise - it's to determine if, in fact, the generator will produce output if it's got excitation.
