# Service bulletin TT271301

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

- Type: Service bulletin
- NHTSA id: 10238594
- Published by NHTSA: 2023\-07\-05
- Manufacturer's number: TT271301
- Manufacturer's date: 2013\-05\-10
- NHTSA component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

## NHTSA's summary

When diagnosing a generator charging concern, it is recommended to verify operation of the one way clutch located in the generator pulley \(if equipped\) before replacing generator assembly. To check the one way clutch, remove the belt from the generator pulley and use a trim removal tool to hold fan blades inside generator, as shown below. When attempting to turn pulley by hand with fan blades held, pulley should spin freely in only one direction. If pulley spins freely in both directions, the one way clutch has failed and should be replaced before continuing diagnosis.
