Drive Belt: Service and Repair
Drive Belt and Cooling Fan
The drive belt adjustment is not required as automatic drive belt tensioner is equipped.
Removal
Move the tension pulley drive belt loosen side, remove the drive belt.
Inspection
Check drive belt for wear or damage, and replace with a new one as necessary.
Installation
Install cooling fan assembly and tighten bolts/nuts to the specified torque.
Torque: 22 Nm (16 ft. lbs.) for fan pulley and fan bracket.
Torque: 7.5 Nm (66.4 inch lbs.) for fan and clutch assembly.
NOTE: Fan belts for 6VD1 Gasoline Engine mounted on 98MY-> Passport have been brought into one. As a result, the rotating direction of a fan
belt is opposite to the direction of cooling fan for <-97MY 6VD1 with no interchangeability.
Therefore, incorrect installation of a fan may cause the air to flow in the opposite direction, thus resulting in poor performance of the air conditioner
and an increase in engine water temperature.
