(Supersedes 10-035, dated November 19, 2010, to revise the information marked by the black bars and asterisks.)
*REVISION SUMMARY
Under REPAIR PROCEDURE, the illustration in step 2 was changed.*
SYMPTOM
The drive belt squeaks when the engine is started cold.
PROBABLE CAUSE
The A/C compressor is slightly misaligned because the A/C compressor bolts are smaller in diameter than the mounting holes, allowing the A/C pulley to
rub against the drive belt.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Replace the drive belt and the NC compressor mounting bolts.
