  A: The first step involves disconnecting the battery negative terminal then the power window control system and sliding roof system must be initialized after rejoining the terminal. You must remove a RH fender apron seal through extraction of 2 screws and 3 clips. Carry out generator V belt removal using Special Service Tool: 09249-63010 before taking off the fan. First disconnect the generator connector after removing the terminal cap from the outside of the generator wire and eliminate the generator wire with the nut. The first step includes removing the 2 wire harness clamps before unfastening 2 bolts to extract the generator with an additional removal of the wire harness clamp bracket bolt. Install the wire harness clamp bracket first by fastening its bolt at 8.4 N.m (85 kgf.cm, 74 in.lbf) torque. Install the crankshaft position sensor wire harness onto the clamp bracket that exists behind the timing chain cover rib. Position the generator into place by tightening bolt A to 21 N.m (215 kgf.cm, 16 ft.lbf) and bolt B to 52 N.m (530 kgf.cm, 38 ft.lbf). After that, apply the 2 wire harness clamps. Install the terminal cap, connect the generator connector while torquing the generator wire with the nut to 9.8 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 7 ft.lbf). Use Special Service Tool 09249-63010 to reinstall the fan and generator V belt before fastening the front fender apron seal RH by its 3 clips and 2 screws. The last task involves connecting the negative battery terminal and tightening it to 5.4 N.m (55 kgf.cm, 48 in.lbf).
