GENERATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

WARNING: When the battery cables are connected, touching the vehicle body with generator terminal B generates sparks. This can cause personal injury, fire, and damage to the electrical components. Always disconnect the battery before performing the following operation.

CAUTION: The generator can be damaged by the heat from the exhaust manifold. Make sure the generator duct and the generator heat insulator are installed securely. (L3 engine model)

Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the under cover.
Remove the drive belt.
Remove the TWC (RH) and the front pipe.
