Drive Motor/Generator: Service and Repair
IMA Motor Removal/installationSpecial Tools Required
Rotor puller (Available for loan from AHM Special Tools) 07YAC-PHM010A
The motor rotor contains very strong magnets and should be handled with special care. People with pacemakers or other sensitive medical devices should not handle the motor rotor.
WARNING: If the motor rotor is installed by hand, it may be pulled toward the motor stator with e, causing serious hand or finger injury. Always use the special tool to remove or install a motor rotor.
^ Do not use the rotor motor if the fiberglass band is damaged. If the band breaks during use, magnets may come loose from the motor rotor.
^ Keep the motor rotor away from magnetically sensitive devices.
^ Store the rotor in the designated storage box and keep it away from sensitive devices during storage.
^ Do not blow air near the rotor, as the metal particles may get on the magnet.
1. On vehicles with a M/T, remove the transmission and the clutch. On vehicles with a CVT, remove the transmission.
2. Remove the stator cover (A).
3. Remove three of the six bolts (A).
4. Install the guide pins (A), then remove the remaining three bolts (B).
5. Attach the rotor puller with the bolts supplied.
6. Remove the motor rotor (A).
7. Remove the bolts (A).
8. Remove the motor stator (A).
NOTE: Clean the mating surfaces of the housing assembly and block, and apply liquid gasket, P/N 08718-0009, to the mating surfaces just before installation.
9. Remove the cover (A) and motor power cables (B).
NOTE:
^ Check the position of the U phase, V phase, and W phase before disconnecting the motor power cable.
^ Clean the mating surfaces of the housing assembly and block, and be sure to apply the liquid gasket, P/N 08718-0009, to the mating surfaces just before installation.
10. Remove motor commutation sensors A, B, and C.
11. Install the IMA motor in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
^ Install the commutation sensors properly. Do not set sensors A, B, and C in the wrong positions.
^ Connect the motor power cable with the U phase, V phase, and W phase set in the correct positions.
^ Clean the surfaces before applying liquid gasket, P/N 08718-0009.
^ Set the rotor on the special tool, and install the rotor with the end of the special tool extended.
^ Turn the handle of the special tool slowly when inserting the rotor into the stator. The rotor is drawn into the stator by magnetic force.
