Alternators

The alternator on your Toyota vehicle is an electrical generator that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. In your vehicle, its job is to charge the battery and power the electrical system when your engine is running. It generates power which charges the battery and also provides enough wattage to run all the major systems and devices in the car. It is important to maintain a healthy alternator. A good way to do this is by checking the belts on your Toyota vehicle and making sure that they are not too tight or too loose. This can put a strain on the alternator. If your vehicle's battery is not charging properly, the vehicle sputters and engine stalls, or the lights in your vehicle fail, this may be due to a faulty alternator. You should get the alternator replaced to avoid power issues with your vehicle. A bad alternator can cause your vehicle to lose power while you are trying to accelerate which can put you in danger on the road. You also might experience stalling or problems with your car not being able to start. Be sure to watch for any warning signs and maintain your alternator.
