CX-9 AWD V6-3.7L (2008)
NOTE:
-
When the electrical load on the vehicle is low, the specified current cannot be verified although the generator is normal. In this case, increase
the electrical load (Leave the headlights turned on for a while, then discharge the battery, or use a similar method.) and recheck.
-
When the generator itself or the ambient temperature are too high, the specified current also cannot be verified. In this case, cool down the
generator and recheck.
9. Turn the following electrical loads on and verify that the current reading increases more than the minimum value indicated below.
-
Headlights (high-beam)
-
Blower motor (HI)
-
Rear window defroster
-
Brake lights
Generator generated current minimum value
70 % of the nominal output current (nominal output current: 110 A)
[Ambient temp. 20 °C {68 °F}, voltage 13.0 - 15.0 V, both engine and generator are hot]
Generator Inner Parts
Rotor
1. Measure the resistance between the slip rings using a tester.
-
If not within the specification, replace the rotor.
Generator rotor resistance (between slip rings) [20 °C {68 °F}] 1.8 - 2.2 ohm
2. Verify that there is no continuity between the slip ring and core using a tester.
-
If there is continuity, replace the rotor.
3. Inspect the slip ring surface condition.
-
If the slip ring surface is rough, use a lathe or fine sandpaper to smooth it.
Stator coil
1. Verify that the continuity is as indicated in the table.
