Generator Replacement 2.4L

The generator does not require periodic lubrication. The rotor shaft is mounted on bearings. Each bearing contains a permanent grease supply. Periodically check the mounting bolts for tightness, and the drive belt tension. The drive belt is self-adjusting, within the operating limits of the tensioner. Refer to Engine Mechanical for tensioner information.

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.

Important: Service the CS-130D generator as a complete unit.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

Caution: To avoid personal injury when rotating the serpentine belt tensioner on 2.4L use a tight fitting 13 mm wrench that is at least 61 centimeters (24 inches) long. This operation can be done using a J 37059 or equivalent.

2. Remove the drive belt. Refer to Drive Belt Replacement in Engine Mechanical 2.4L.



3. Remove the generator mounting stud and bolts.
4. Remove the generator electrical connections.
5. Remove the generator assembly.

1. Install the generator assembly.
2. Install 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 stud and bolts.

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

4. Install the drive belt. Refer to Drive Belt Replacement in Engine Mechanical 2.4L.
5. Connect the negative battery cable.

Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 16 N·m (12 lb ft).
