(2) Inspection of drive belt tension
Measure the amount of the drive belt deflection when
the midpoint of the drive belt between the alternator
and the water pump pulley or between the crankshaft
pulley and vane pump pulley is pushed with a force of
98 N (10 kgf).
Specified Belt Deflection
New Belt:
Alternator and water pump
4 - 5 mm
Vane pump(Power steering) 8 - 11 mm
Used Belt:
Alternator and water pump
5 - 6 mm
Vane pump(Power steering) 11 - 14 mm
If necessary, adjust the drive belt tension.
(Refer to the EM or SR section.)
