Inspection [09/2020 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus IS 300, 2023 Lexus IS 300, 2022 Lexus IS 300, 2021 Lexus IS 300, and 2020 Lexus IS 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. INSPECT GENERATOR PULLEY WITH CLUTCH 
    1. Hold the center of the generator pulley with clutch, and confirm that the outer ring turns counterclockwise and does not turn clockwise.

      OK

      The outer ring turns counterclockwise and does not turn clockwise.

      If the result is not as specified, replace the generator pulley with clutch.

  2. INSPECT GENERATOR BRUSH HOLDER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Using a vernier caliper, measure the length of the exposed brushes.

      Standard Exposed Brush Length

      9.5 to 11.5 mm (0.374 to 0.453 in.)

      Minimum Exposed Brush Length

      4.5 mm (0.177 in.)

      *a Slip Ring
      1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance

        Generator Assembly Type Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        for 180 A Type Slip ring - Slip ring 20°C (68°F) 1.36 to 1.76 Ω
        for 150 A Type 1.5 to 1.9 Ω

        If the result is not as specified, replace the generator rotor assembly.

    2. Check the generator rotor assembly for a short to ground.

      *b Rotor
      1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        Slip ring - Rotor Always 1 MΩ or higher

        If the result is not as specified, replace the generator rotor assembly.

    3. Check that the generator rotor bearing is not rough or worn and that it rotates smoothly.

      If the generator rotor bearing is rough or worn, or does not rotate smoothly, replace the generator rotor assembly.

    4. Check the slip ring.
      1. Check that the slip rings are not rough or scored.

        If the slip rings are rough or scored, replace the generator rotor assembly.

      2. Using a vernier caliper, measure the slip ring diameter.

        Standard Diameter

        14.2 to 14.8 mm (0.559 to 0.583 in.)

        Minimum Diameter

        14.0 mm (0.551 in.)

        If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the generator rotor assembly.
