Drive Motor Rotor: Service and Repair

IMA Motor Rotor Removal/Installation

Special Tools Required

- Rotor Puller 07YAC-PHM010B

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 rotor is installed by hand, it may suddenly be pulled toward the stator with great force, causing serious hand or finger injury. Always use the special tool (rotor puller) to remove or install the rotor assembly.
- Keep the motor rotor away from magnetically sensitive devices.
- Do not blow air near the rotor, as metal particles may get on the magnets.
- Store the rotor in the designated storage box, and keep it away from sensitive devices during storage.


1. Remove the transmission CVT Transmission Removal.

2. Remove the support (A).






3. Remove the sensor plate (A).

NOTE: When installing the sensor plate, check its insulating paint for damage.






4. Remove the motor power cable (A) from the motor stator by pushing the tab (B), raising the lever (C), and sliding the protector (D) in the direction shown.

NOTE:

- If the motor power cable connector is dirty, clean it before removal.
- Cover the disconnected connector (E) with plastic (F), and wrap the motor power cable terminal with tape (G).
- If the motor power cable is wet, wait until it is dry before you wrap it.





5. Slide a plastic film (A) between the motor rotor (B) and the motor stator (C).






6. Remove three of the six bolts (A) as shown.






7. Install the rotor puller guide pins, then remove the remaining three bolts (A), and remove the rotor spacer (B).






8. Attach the rotor puller with its supplied bolts.

NOTE: When installing the rotor puller, position the puller to fit over the dowel pins (A).






9. Remove the motor rotor (A).






10. To prevent damage to the rotor magnet while working on the stator, place the rotor, with puller attached, into the puller case.






11. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.

NOTE: Turn the handle of the rotor puller slowly when inserting the rotor into the stator. The rotor is drawn into the stator by magnetic force.





12. Remove the plastic film.

13. Reconnect the motor power cable to the motor stator.

14. Reinstall the sensor plate.

15. Reinstall the support.

16. Install the transmission CVT Transmission Installation.

17. Do the motor rotor position calibration Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview.
