Charging System (1ZZ-FE): Generator: Inspection

  1. INSPECT GENERATOR BRUSH HOLDER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Check the brush length.
      1. Using vernier calipers, measure the exposed brush 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 exposed brush length is less than minimum, replace the generator brush holder.

  2. INSPECT GENERATOR REGULATOR ASSEMBLY 
    1. Check the resistance.
      1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals F and B.
        Fig 2: Measuring Resistance Between Terminals F And B

        Standard resistance: When the positive and negative poles of terminals F and B are switched over, there is a resistance of below 1 Ω in one direction but 10 kΩ or higher in the other direction. 

        If the result is not as specified, replace the generator regulator.

      2. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals E and F.

        Standard resistance: When the positive and negative poles of terminals F and E are switched over, there is a resistance of below 1 Ω in one direction but 10 kΩ or higher in the other direction. 

        If the result is not as specified, replace the generator regulator.

  3. INSPECT GENERATOR HOLDER W/RECTIFIER 
    1. Check the resistance.
      1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the positive (+) terminal and each rectifier terminal.

        Standard resistance: When the positive and negative poles of the positive (+) terminal and each rectifier terminal are switched over, there is a resistance of below 1 Ω in one direction but 10 kΩ or higher in the other direction.

        Standard resistance: When the positive and negative poles of the negative (-) terminal and each rectifier terminal are switched over, there is a resistance of below 1 Ω in one direction but 10 kΩ or higher in the other direction. 

        If the result is not as specified, replace the generator holder with rectifier.

  4. INSPECT GENERATOR ROTOR ASSEMBLY 
    1. Check for roughness or wear.
      1. Check that the bearing is not rough or worn. If necessary, replace the bearing.

    2. Check the resistance.
      1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the slip rings.

        Standard resistance: 2.1 to 2.5 Ω at 20°C (68°F) 

        If the resistance is not as specified, replace the generator rotor.

      2. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the slip ring and rotor.

        Standard resistance: 1 MΩ or higher 

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

    3. Check the appearance.
      1. Check that the slip rings are not rough or scored.

        If rough or scored, replace the generator rotor.

    4. Inspect the slip ring diameter.
      1. 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 minimum, replace the generator rotor.

  5. INSPECT GENERATOR RECTIFIER END FRAME 
    1. Check for roughness or wear.
      1. Check that the bearing is not rough or worn. If necessary, replace the bearing.
