Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection

ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT DIAGNOSIS

VISUAL DIAGNOSIS

NOTE: Diesel Engine - If a belt is broken or frayed, inspect engine speed sensor ( located near the crankshaft damper) for damage.

When diagnosing serpentine accessory drive belts, small cracks that run across the ribbed surface of the belt from rib to rib , are considered normal.
These are not a reason to replace the belt. However, cracks running along a rib (not across) are not  normal. Any belt with cracks running along a rib
must be replaced. Also replace the belt if it has excessive wear, frayed cords or severe glazing.

Refer to ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT DIAGNOSIS CHART for further belt diagnosis.
