Check and adjust cooling fan V-belt
The V-belt will slip if it does not have the proper
tension. This will prevent the alternator from
generating sufficient power. Also, the engine will
overheat due to the engine coolant pump pulley
slipping.
Check and adjust the V-belt tension (deflection) as
follows:
1. Press the V-belt down with your thumb with a
force of approximately 22 ft·lb (98 N·m; 10 kgf)
to check the deflection.
There are three positions to check for V-belt
tension
