12V 100A Alternator for Scion tC and Toyota 2.4L Models

Replacement 12-volt, 100-amp alternator with a 7-groove clutch pulley for the specific Scion tC and Toyota Camry, Highlander, and Solara applications listed below.

Critical fitment warning: Toyota applications are limited to the 2.4L L4. Camry vehicles must be built from September 2003 onward; listed Camry applications may be built in Japan or the USA. The source describes 2005–2010 Scion tC as all models but does not separately provide engine, transmission, production-date, electrical-option, or connector restrictions. Confirm the VIN, engine, exact production date, original alternator label, rated output, mounting ears, electrical plug, battery-terminal position, pulley type, pulley diameter, and groove count before ordering.

Diagnostic and Installation Notes

Charging-system work should be completed by a qualified technician. Test the battery, cables, grounds, belt, tensioner, and charging circuit before replacing the alternator. Disconnect the battery according to the vehicle service procedure before removal. Compare the mounting points, connector, output terminal, pulley alignment, and clutch-pulley operation with the original unit. Follow Scion or Toyota torque specifications and confirm belt routing and tension. After installation, verify charging voltage and current under load, check for warning lights or abnormal noise, and ensure the battery is fully charged; an undercharged or failing battery can overload a replacement alternator.

Frequently Asked Questions
