How to replace the alternator (RPOs L61/LE5) on Chevrolet Cobalt?

The generator replacement (RPOs L61/LE5) begins with disconnecting the negative Battery Cable and removing the Drive Belt before proceeding to remove the air cleaner outlet duct. After disconnecting the generator's harness electrical connector users should move the starter solenoid wire boot and remove the generator terminal nut together with the starter solenoid wire terminal from the generator. Screwdrivers enable the removal of generator bolts allowing you to discard the generator. Install the generator by placing it on the engine block then fasten generator bolts using 22 nm (16 ft. Lbs.) torque. After connecting the starter solenoid wire terminal to the generator you must tighten the generator terminal nut to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.). Reinstall the air cleaner outlet duct followed by the Drive Belt then connect the electrical engine harness connector to the generator while reinstalling the starter solenoid wire boot. Reconnect the negative Battery Cable to complete the restoration.

The device that is popularly known as the Alternator in Chevrolet Cobalt cars is an important unit that functors as a charger to the battery of the car and also feeds electrical units while the car is in motion. It is usually positioned ahead of the engine and works through the interpretation of mechanical energy generated by the engine, into electricity required to supply different parts, battery inclusive. The Alternator works through having a rotating magnetic field with a stationary armature to produce AC that is then transformed into DC to rejuvenate the battery and to power the vehicle's electrical system. Newer vehicles have been programmed to incorporate the voltage regulation function of the automobile through the PCM to warrant the requisite charging volt. For cars with increased electrical loads due to addition of parts, high output alternators might be needed because they are capable of producing a high amount of amps without threatening the integrity of the charging system.
