Outlander 2WD V6-3.0L (6B31) (2007)
Belt deflection check
Apply approximately 100 N (22 lb) of force to the middle of the drive belt between the pulleys (at the place indicated by the arrow) and check that the
amount of deflection is within the standard value.
Standard value: 11.9 - 15.6 mm (0.47 - 0.61 in)
Power steering drive belt tension adjustment
If the tension or deflection is outside the standard value, adjust by the following procedure.
1. Loosen the tensioner pulley lock nut.
2. Adjust the belt tension to the standard value by turning the adjusting bolt. The tension will increase when turning the adjusting bolt clockwise, and
decrease when turning counterclockwise.
Standard value:
3. Tighten the lock nut to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 47 ± 11 Nm (35 ± 8 ft-lb)
CAUTION: Check after turning the crankshaft one or more rotations clockwise.
4. Check the belt deflection amount and tension, and readjust if necessary.
5. When the belt tension is adjusted by measuring the belt deflection, adjust it with a tool for vibration frequency measurement or tension
measurement afterward.
