The Nissan Maxima Alternator is the generator of the vehicle that uses the engine drive belt to convert engine mechanical energy into electrical energy that recharges the battery and powers the lights, components, and control modules. The Alternator is basically a two-piece cast aluminum shell that houses the stator of stationary windings and a shaft-mounted rotor. The shaft's front is fitted with a pulley and a cooling fan, whereas bearings at both ends support its rotation. The rotor's magnetic field sweeps through the stator windings when the engine drives the belt, inducing alternating current at the output. Within the Alternator, a rectifier assembly comprising diodes and heat sinks alters this AC into direct current suitable for the Nissan electrical system. A voltage regulator adjusts the field current to prevent undercharging or overcharging. Proper belt tension causes the Alternator to spin at the speed required for charging. A dim charge warning lamp or low battery indicates the Nissan Maxima Alternator is not maintaining output and needs to be replaced. A new Maxima Alternator will restore power in the Maxima and keep Nissan Maxima running.
