Alternator Pulley Inspection
Perform the following.
Make sure that alternator pulley does not rattle.
Make sure that alternator pulley nut is tight.
Installation
Installation is the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Be sure to tighten “B” terminal nut carefully.
Install alternator, and check tension of belt. Refer to EM-174, "Checking Drive Belts" .
For this model, the power generation voltage variable control system that controls the power generation
voltage of the alternator has been adopted. Therefore, the power generation voltage variable control sys-
tem operation inspection should be performed after replacing the alternator, and then make sure that the
system operates normally. Refer to SC-29, "
Power Generation Voltage Variable Control System Operation
Inspection" . Alternator pulley nut:

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
Trouble Diagnosis with CONSULT-IINHS00097
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 2
Refer to GI-38, "CONSULT-II Start Procedure" .
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
1. Touch “SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]”.
2. Diagnostic code is displayed on “SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]”.
a. If no malfunction is detected on “SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]” even
though malfunction is detected in “SRS Operation Check”,
check the battery voltage. If the battery voltage is less than 9 V,
charge or replace the battery. Then go to SRS-27, "
DIAGNOS-
TIC PROCEDURE 3" . If the battery voltage is OK, go to SRS-
29, "DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 4 (CONTINUED FROM
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 2)" to diagnose the following
cases:
Self-diagnosis result “SELF-DIAG [PAST]” (previously stored
in the memory) might not be erased after repair.
The SRS system malfunctions intermittently.
DTC No. Index (“SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]”)

Diagnostic item ExplanationRepair order
“Recheck SRS at each replacement”
NO DTC IS
DETECTED.When malfunction is
indicated by the “AIR
BAG” warning lamp in
User mode.
Low battery voltage (Less than 9 V)Go to SRS-27, "DIAGNOSTIC PRO-
CEDURE 3" after charging the bat-
tery.
Self-diagnosis result “SELF-DIAG
[PAST]” (previously stored in the
memory) might not be erased after
repair.
Intermittent malfunction has been
detected in the past.
Go to SRS-29, "DIAGNOSTIC PRO-
CEDURE 4 (CONTINUED FROM
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 2)" .
Go to SRS-29, "DIAGNOSTIC PRO-
CEDURE 5" .
No malfunction is detected. —
