Generator Replacement LD9

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

Caution: Use a tight fitting 13 mm wrench that is at least 46 cm (18 in) long or J 37059 when rotating the drive belt tensioner in order to avoid personal injury.

2. Remove the drive belt. Refer to Drive Belt Replacement in Engine Mechanical - 2.4L.
3. Remove the generator mounting bolts.

Caution: Before removing or installing any electrical unit, or when a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with "live" or "hot all the times" exposed electrical terminals, disconnect the negative battery cable to help prevent personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or components. Unless instructed otherwise, the ignition switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position.

4. Disconnect the generator electrical connections.



5. Remove the generator assembly.

1. Install the generator assembly.
2. Reconnect the generator electrical connections.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

3. Install the generator mounting bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the mounting bolts to 50 N·m (37 lb ft).

Caution: Use a tight fitting 13 mm wrench that is at least 46 cm (18 in) long or J 37059 when rotating the drive belt tensioner in order to avoid personal injury.
