Sephia [FB] > 1996 > Engine > 1.8 DOHC

REMOVAL

1) Reversing the battery connections will the rectifier.

2) The use of high-voltage testers(such as a magger) will damage the rectifier.

3) Remember that battery voltage is always applied to the generator B terminal.

4) Do not ground the L terminal while the engine is runing.

5) Do not start the engine while the connector is disconnected from the L and S terminals.

1. Remove in the order shown in the figure.

2. Inspect all parts and repair or replace as necessary. (Replace generator as one unit; do not disassemble.)

3. Install in the reverse order of removal.

REPLACEMENT

1. Remove the A/C and P/S drive belt, if equipped.

2. Loosen the generator mounting bolt and adjusting bolt.

3. Remove the generator belt.

4. Install the new generator belt and adjust it to specification.

5. Tighten all bolts to the specified torque.

Tightening torque :Mounting bolt : 27-38 ft-lb (35-52 N-m)Adjusting bolt : 14-19 ft-lb (19-25 N-m)

6. Install the A/C and P/S drive belt, if equipped, and adjust to specification.

INSTALLATION

1. Install the generator mounting strap and tighten the bolt to specification.

Tightening Torque : 27-38 ft.lb. (37-52N·m)

2. Install the generator and the generator drive belt.

3. Loosely tighten the generator mounting bolts.

4. Adjust the deflection by tightening the adjusting bolt. then tighten the mounting bolts to specification.

Deflection : (at 22lb.{98N})New : 0.22-0.27in. (5.5-7.0mm)Used : 0.24-0.29 in. (6.0-7.5mm)Tightening torque

:Bolt(A) : 27-38 ft.lb. (37-52N·m)Bolt(B) : 14-19 ft.lb. (19-25N·m)

INSPECTION

1. Check the drive belt and pulley for wear, cracks, and fraying. Replace if necessary.

2. Measure the drive belt tension with a tension gauge.

Tension

Drive Belt New Used

Generator 0.31-0.35 lb (8-9N) 0.35-0.39lb (9-10N)

A/C and P/S 0.31-0.35 lb (8-9N) 0.35-0.39 lb (9-10N)

3. Measure the deflection by applying moderate pressure (22lb, [98N]) midway between the puleys.

Adjust if necessary.

Deflection

Drive Belt New Used

Generator 0.31-0.35 lb (8-9N) 0.35-0.39lb (9-10N)

A/C and P/S 0.31-0.35 lb (8-9N) 0.35-0.39 lb (9-10N)

ADJUSTMENT

1. Loosen the generator mounting bolt and adjusting bolt.

2. Deflect the generator to achieve the specified deflection.

3. Tighten all bolts and recheck the tension.
