Generator Replacement 3800 L36 (VIN K)

The CS130D generator is serviced as a complete unit only. The CS144 generator is serviceable internally.

Caution: This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System. Failure to follow the correct procedure could cause the following conditions:

•	Air bag deployment

•	Personal injury

•	Unnecessary SIR system repairs

In order to avoid the above conditions, observe the following guidelines:

•	Refer to SIR Component Views in order to determine if you are performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring.

•	If you are performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, disable the SIR system. Refer to Disabling the SIR System.

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

1. Disconnect the battery ground (negative) cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection .
2. Remove the drive belt. Refer to Drive Belt Replacement in Engine Mechanical-3.8L.



3. Remove the generator front brace. Refer to Generator Brace Replacement .



4. Remove the electrical connector from the generator.



5. Remove the bolts from the generator.



6. Remove the protective boot from the generator output BAT terminal.
7. Remove the nut and the battery (positive) lead from the generator.
8. Remove the generator.

1. Install the generator.




Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

2. Install the battery (positive) lead and the nut to the generator output BAT terminal.

Tighten
Tighten the BAT terminal nut to 20 N·m (15 lb ft).
