• Q: How to service the alternator on 2002 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: You should start your alternator service by unhooking the generator drive belt after you turn the tensioner counterclockwise while being aware of the left-hand threaded pulley bolt which holds the belt tensioner in place. The PS vane pump must be removed from the engine together with the engine under cover before extracting the 2 clips while removing the No.2 fan shroud. To begin the service start by disconnecting the generator connector before removing the cap and nut which separates the generator wire followed by removing the generator wire clamp from the cord clip on the generator. Finish the process by removing the bolt and nut and the generator. During reinstallation follow these steps: position the generator, tighten the bolt and nut to 39 N.m (400 kgf.cm, 29 ft.lbf), resume the generator connector, secure the generator wire using nut and rubber and complete the installation by placing the cap and attaching generator wire clamp to the cord clip. Place the PS vane pump pulley in position followed by replacing the generator drive belt by rotating the belt tensioner in an opposite direction while paying attention to the left-hand thread of the pulley bolt. The procedure ends with installation of the engine under cover after you install the No.2 fan shroud along with its 2 clips.
