I ordered a replacement alternator for my
2012 Scion iQ and wanted to familiarize

access the alternator on this particular make
and model?

It would have to be on the serpentine belt. It would be an easy job if it's on top, but difficult if underneath the other accessories. The auto parts store can maybe point it out for you. Remember to disconnect the battery, and be sure you have the radio code.
