Belt tension gauge set 07JGG-001000A or Belt tension gauge 07JGG-001010A
Belt tension gauge method
1. Attach the belt tension gauge to the belt with the gauge face toward the engine, and measure the tension of the belt. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions. If the belt is worn or damaged, replace it.
NOTE: Remove the belt tension gauge carefully to avoid hitting the gauge reset lever.
Tension:
Used Belt: 390 - 540 N (40 - 55 kgf, 88 - 121 lbs)
New Belt: 740 - 880 N (75 - 90 kgf, 165 - 198 lbs)
2. If you installed a new belt, run the engine for 5 minutes, then readjust the belt to the used belt specifications.
Deflection Method
1. Apply a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbs) and measure the deflection between the power steering pump pulley (A) and the crankshaft pulley (B).
Deflection:
Used Belt: 13.0 - 16.5 mm (0.51 - 0.65 inch)
New Belt: 8.5 - 11.0 mm (0.33 - 0.45 inch)
2. If you installed a new belt, run the engine for 5 minutes, then readjust the belt to the used belt specifications.
