Symptoms of a faulty alternator one-way clutch: 1. The car lacks buffering during sudden acceleration or deceleration, causing significant noise when starting. Even with light throttle input after starting, the engine will produce noise; 2. The car fails to start, with insufficient battery power and noticeably dim headlights; 3. The car experiences weak driving performance and stalls. The primary function of the alternator one-way clutch is to mitigate engine impact during sudden acceleration or deceleration and regulate power generation. If the alternator one-way clutch is damaged, immediate repair is necessary; otherwise, it will affect the car battery's ability to charge. Applications of the alternator one-way clutch: diesel engines, V-cylinder engines with cylinder deactivation function, dual-mass flywheels, automatic transmissions with high shift shock, and alternators with high inertial torque.
