2.
Remove the VIS (Variable intake system) actuator and valve (A).
Disconnect the battery negative terminal first, then the positive terminal.
Tightening torque:
(+) terminal : 7.8 ~ 9.8 N.m (0.8 ~ 1.0 kgf.m, 5.8 ~ 7.2 lb-ft)
(-) terminal : 4.0 ~ 6.0 N.m (0.4 ~ 0.6 kgf.m, 3.0 ~ 4.4 lb-ft)
Remove the VIS (Variable intake system) actuator and valve (A).
Disconnect the A/C compressor switch connector (A) the alternator connector (B), and the cable from alternator "B" terminal (C).
Remove the drive belt (A) after turning the drive belt tensioner (B) counterclockwise.
Pull out the through bolt and then remove the alternator (A).
Tightening torque:
49.0 ~ 63.7 N.m (5.0 ~ 6.5 kgf.m, 36.2 ~ 47.0 lb-ft)
Install in the reverse order of removal.
Adjust the alternator belt tension after installation.
(Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Drive Belt")
Remove the rear cover (A) after removing nuts.
Remove the mounting bolts (A) and the brush holder assembly (B).
Remove the slip ring guide (A) after pulling it.
Remove the OAD(Overrunning Alternator Decoupler) cap.
When installing, replace with new OAD cap.
Remove the OAD(Overrunning Alternator Decoupler) pulley (A) using the special tool.
Unsolder the 3 stator leads (A).
Remove the 4 through bolts (A).
Disconnect the rotor (A) and bracket (B).
Reassemble in the reverse order of disassembly.
When reassembling OAD pulley, replace with new OAD cap.
Check that there is continuity between the slip rings (C).
Check that there is no continuity between the slip rings and the rotor (B) or rotor shaft (A).
If the rotor fails either continuity check, replace the alternator.
Check that there is continuity between each pair of leads (A).
Check that there is no continuity between each lead and the coil core.
If the coil fails either continuity check, replace the alternator.
