Charging System: Generator

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Cadillac Seville. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Denso generator is electrically similar to earlier models. The generator features the following major components:

The delta stator.
The rectifier bridge.
The rotor with slip rings and brushes.
A conventional pulley.
Dual internal fans.
The regulator.

The pulley and the fan cool the slip ring and the frame. The generator features permanently lubricated bearings. Service should only include tightening of mount components. Otherwise, replace the generator as a complete unit.
