ALTERNATOR | TESTING The easiest way to test the performance of the alternator is to perform a regulated voltage test.

1. Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature.
2. Connect a voltmeter between the positive and negative terminals of the battery.
3. Voltage should be 14.1-14.7 volts.
4. If voltage is higher or lower than the specification, connect a voltmeter between the battery positive (B+) voltage output terminal of the alternator and a good engine ground.
5. Voltage should be 14.1-14.7 volts.
6. If voltage is still out of specification, a problem exists in the alternator or voltage regulator.
7. If voltage is now within specification, a problem exists in the wiring to the battery or in the battery itself.

NOTE: Many automotive parts stores have alternator bench testers available for use by customers. An alternator bench test is the most definitive way to determine the condition of your alternator.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
(See Figures 64 thru 69)

1. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Wait at least 90 seconds from the time the negative battery was disconnected to start work.
CAUTION! On models with an airbag, wait at least 90 seconds from the time that the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position and the battery is disconnected before performing any further work.
2. Remove the two bolts and the No. 3 right hand engine mounting stay on the 3VZ-FE. Remove the bolt and nut and then remove the No. 2 right hand engine mounting stay on 2VZ-FE and 3VZ-Fe engines.
3. Disconnect the electrical harness and wire (and nut) from the alternator.
4. Remove the air cleaner (2S-E), if necessary, to gain access to the alternator.
5. Unfasten the bolts which attach the adjusting link to the alternator.
6. Remove the alternator drive belt from the pulley.
7. Unfasten the alternator attaching bolt and then withdraw the alternator from its bracket.
