For 1990-2009 cars

### Removal Procedure

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: Failure to observe Step 1 may result in a serious personal injury. If a tool is shorted at the generator lead, the tool will become hot enough to cause a serious burn.

2. Remove the air cleaner assembly. Refer to Air Cleaner Assembly Replacement 1.0L or Air Cleaner Assembly Replacement 1.3L in Engine Controls.
3. Remove the rubber protector, the nut and the electrical connector from the generator B terminal.
4. Remove the upper mounting bolt (1).
5. Remove the drive belt.
6. Remove the 2 lower generator mounting bolts (2).
7. Remove the generator.

### Installation Procedure

1. Install the generator.
2. Install the 2 lower mounting bolts (2) finger-tight.
3. Install the upper mounting bolt (1) finger-tight.
4. Install the drive belt.

• | Adjust the drive belt to obtain a 6-8 mm (0.24-0.31 in) deflection with 10 kg (22 lbs) pressure exerted when reinstalling a used belt.

• | Adjust the drive belt to obtain a 5-7 mm (0.20-0.27 in) deflection with 10 kg (22 lbs) pressure exerted when reinstalling a new belt.

5. Tighten the generator upper mounting bolt.

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.
