Removal
1. | Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
2. | Loosen the mounting bolts (A) and then, turn the adjusting bolt (B) clockwise to loosen tension.
3. | Remove the drive belt (A).
4. | Disconnect the air compressor connector (A) and the alternator connector (B), and remove the cable from alternator "B" terminal (C).
5. | Remove the alternator (A).
Installation
1. | Install in the reverse order of removal.
2. | Adjust the alternator belt tension after installation. (Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Drive Belt")
Alternator installation bolt: [12mm (0.47in) bolt] 19.6 ~ 26.5 Nm (2.0 ~ 2.7 kgf.m, 14.5 ~ 19.5 Ib-ft) [14mm (0.55in) bolt] 29.4 ~ 41.2 Nm (3.0 ~ 4.2 kgf.m, 21.7 ~ 30.4 Ib-ft)
Disassembly
1. | Remove the rear cover (A) after removing nuts.
2. | Remove the mounting bolts (A) and the brush holder assembly (B).
3. | Remove the slip ring guide (A) after pulling it.
4. | Remove the OAD(Overrunning Alternator Decoupler) cap.
• | When installing, replace with new OAD cap.
5. | Remove the OAD(Overrunning Alternator Decoupler) pulley (A) using the special tool.
6. | Unsolder the 3 stator leads (A).
7. | Remove the 4 through bolts (A).
8. | Disconnect the rotor (A) and bracket (B).
Reassembly
1. | Reassemble in the reverse order of disassembly.
• | When reassembling OAD pulley, replace with new OAD cap.
Inspection
[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.
[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.
