Removal and installation
1. | Disconnect the battery negative terminal first, then the positive terminal.
Tightening torque (+) terminal : 7.8 ~ 9.8N.m (0.8 ~ 1.0kgf.m, 5.8 ~ 7.2lb-ft) (-) terminal (without battery sensor): 7.8 ~ 9.8N.m (0.8 ~ 1.0kgf.m, 5.8 ~ 7.2lb-ft) (-) terminal (with battery sensor): 4.0 ~ 6.0N.m (0.4 ~ 0.6kgf.m, 3.0 ~ 4.4lb-ft)
2. | Remove the drive belt.
(1) | Loosen the through bolt (A,B).
(2) | Loosen the tension by turning the tension adjusting bolt (A).
(3) | Remove the drive belt (A).
3. | Disconnect the A/C compressor switch connector (A), the alternator connector (B) and the cable from the alternator "B" terminal (C).
4. | Remove the alternator (A).
Tightening torque : 19.6~26.5 Nm (2.0~2.7 kgf.m, 14.5~19.5 Ib-ft)-12mm bolt 29.4~41.2 Nm (3.0~4.2 kgf.m, 21.7~30.4 Ib-ft)-14mm bolt
5. | Installation is the reverse order of removal.
6. | Adjust the alternator belt tension after installation.
Disassembly
1. | Remove the alternator cover(A).
2. | Loosen the mounting bolts(A) and disconnect the brush holder assembly(B).
3. | Remove the slip ring guide(A).
When installing, replace with new OAD cap.
4. | Remove the nut and pulley(A).
5. | Loosen the 4 through bolts(A).
6. | Disconnect the rotor(A) and cover(B).
7. | Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly.
Inspection
Inspect Rotor
1. | Check that there is continuity between the slip rings (C).
2. | Check that there is no continuity between the slip rings and the rotor (B) or rotor shaft (A).
3. | If the rotor fails either continuity check, replace the alternator.
Inspect Stator
1. | Check that there is continuity between each pair of leads (A).
2. | Check that there is no continuity between each lead and the coil core.
3. | If the coil fails either continuity check, replace the alternator.
