To remove the alternator on a Yaris, start by lifting the bonnet and securing it. Locate the battery and disconnect the terminals. Move any cables and hoses away from the alternator to access it. Use a socket spanner to unscrew the bolts on either side of the alternator.

Once removed, extract the alternator from the engine bay. Fit the new alternator into the appropriate housing, tighten the fastening bolts, and then reconnect the battery terminals. Check the voltage with a multimeter by connecting it to the battery.

Start the vehicle and test its operation.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
