Drive Belt Tensioner: Adjustments
NOTE: The indicator mark inspection is done with the engine off at 160,000 km (100,000 mile) intervals.
Check indicator marks on drive belt tensioner. If mark is not between indicator lines drive belt is worn or incorrect drive belt has been installed. Replace
drive belt.
Automatic drive belt tensioners are spring-loaded devices which set and maintain the drive belt tension. The drive belt does not require tension
adjustment for the life of the drive belt.
Locate the tab on the drive belt tensioner mounting plate. The tab should be approximately between the stops on the drive belt tensioner arm. The drive
belt is worn or an incorrect drive belt has been installed if the tab is resting against a stop.
To remove a drive belt, rotate the drive belt tensioner away from the drive belt.
