Drive Belt: Service and Repair
Cleaning and Inspection
When inspecting serpentine drive belts, small cracks that run across the ribbed surface of the belt from rib to rib, are considered normal. These are not
reasons to replace the belt. However, cracks running along the rib (not across) are not normal. Any belt with cracks running along the rib must be
replaced. Also replace the belt if it has excessive wear, frayed cords or severe glazing.
