Charging System (3MZ-FE): Generator: Inspection
- INSPECT GENERATOR BRUSH HOLDER ASSEMBLY
- Using vernier calipers, measure the exposed brush length.
Standard exposed brush length:
10.5 mm (0.413 in.)
Minimum exposed brush length:
4.5 mm (0.177 in.)
If the exposed brush length is less than the minimum, replace the brush holder assembly.
- Using vernier calipers, measure the exposed brush length.
- INSPECT GENERATOR ROTOR ASSEMBLY
- Check that the bearing is not rough or worn. If necessary, replace the rotor assembly.
- Check if the rotor has an open circuit.
- Measure the resistance between the slip rings.
Resistance:
2.3 to 2.7 Ω at 20°C (68°F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the generator rotor.
- Measure the resistance between the slip rings.
- Check the rotor for ground.
- Measure the resistance between the slip ring and rotor core.
Resistance:
1 MΩ or higher
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the rotor assembly.
- Measure the resistance between the slip ring and rotor core.
- Check that the slip rings are not rough or scored. If rough or scored, replace the rotor assembly.
- Using vernier calipers, measure the slip ring diameter.
Standard diameter:
14.2 to 14.4 mm (0.559 to 0.567 in.)
Minimum diameter:
14.0 mm (0.551 in.)
If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the rotor assembly.
- INSPECT GENERATOR DRIVE END FRAME BEARING
- Check that the bearing is not rough or worn. If necessary, replace the bearing.
- REMOVE GENERATOR DRIVE END FRAME BEARING
- Remove the 4 screws and retainer plate.
- Using SST and a wooden block, tap out the bearing.
SST 09950-60010 (09951-00250), 09950-70010 (09951-07100)
- INSTALL GENERATOR DRIVE END FRAME BEARING
- Using SST and a press, press in a new bearing.
SST 09950-60010 (09951-00470), 09950-70010 (09951-07100)
- Install the retainer plate with the 4 screws.
Torque: 2.3 N*m (23 kgf*cm, 20 in.*lbf)
- Using SST and a press, press in a new bearing.
