Generator Replacement (LX9): Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6, 2006 Chevrolet Uplander, and 2006 Buick Terraza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The generator does not require periodic lubrication. The rotor shaft is mounted on bearings. Each bearing contains a permanent grease supply. Periodically check the mounting bolts for tightness and the drive belt tension. The drive belt is self-adjusting, within the operating limits of the tensioner. Refer to DRIVE BELT TENSIONER DIAGNOSIS in Engine Mechanical - 3.5L for tensioner information.
