Drive Belt: Description and Operation
Drive Belt Tensioner
A single serpentine belt is used to drive all engine accessories formerly driven by multiple drive belts. All belt driven accessories are rigidly mounted
with belt tension maintained by a spring loaded tensioner.
Inspect
^
Routine inspection of the belt may reveal cracks in the belt ribs. These cracks will not impair belt performance and therefore should not be
considered a problem requiring belt replacement.
^
The belt should be replaced if sections of the belt ribs are missing or if the belt is outside of the tensioner's operating range. See illustration.
Important
^
Belt tension is maintained by the tensioner and is not adjustable.
