Inspection [11/2021 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Lexus NX 250, 2024 Lexus NX 250, 2023 Lexus NX 250, and 2022 Lexus NX 250. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. INSPECT GENERATOR BRUSH HOLDER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Using a vernier caliper, measure the length of the exposed brushes.

      *a Length

      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.)

      If the brush length is less than the minimum, replace the generator brush holder assembly.

  2. INSPECT GENERATOR ROTOR ASSEMBLY 
    1. Check the generator rotor assembly for an open circuit.
      1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        *a Slip Ring

        Standard Resistance

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        Slip ring - Slip ring 20°C (68°F) 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.
      1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        *a Slip Ring
        *b Rotor

        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.
