1. Check condition of all pulleys.
CAUTION: When installing the serpentine accessory drive belt, the belt MUST be routed correctly. If not, the engine may overheat due to the
water pump rotating in the wrong direction.
2. Position accessory drive belt around all pulleys except the idler pulley. Rotate the tensioner arm until it contacts it's stop position. Route the
accessory drive belt around the idler and slowly let the tensioner rotate into the belt. Make sure the belt is seated onto all pulleys. ON all engines,
the tensioner (6) is equipped with an indexing tang on back of tensioner and an indexing stop on tensioner housing. If a new belt is being
installed, tang must be within approximately 6 - 8mm (0.24 - 0.32 in.) of indexing stop (i.e. tang is approximately between the two
indexing stops). Belt is considered new if it has been used 15 minutes or less.
3. With the accessory drive belt installed, inspect the belt wear indicator.
