WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Toyota Avalon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- INSPECT GENERATOR BRUSH HOLDER ASSEMBLY
- INSPECT GENERATOR ROTOR ASSEMBLY
- Check the generator rotor assembly for an open circuit.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
*a Slip Ring Standard Resistance
Generator Assembly Type Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition for 100 A Slip ring - Slip ring 20°C (68°F) 1.8 to 2.2 Ω for 130 A 1.6 to 2.0 Ω If the result is not as specified, replace the generator rotor assembly.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Check the generator rotor assembly for a short to ground.
- 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.
- Check the slip ring.
- Check that the slip rings are not rough or scored.
If the slip rings are rough or scored, replace the generator rotor assembly.
- 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.
