When using scan tool MB991502:
CAUTION: When tightening the mounting bolts, ensure that the tensioner does not rotate with the bolts. Allowing it to rotate with the bolts can
cause excessive tension of the belt.
1. Lift with your fingers the balancer timing belt tensioner in the direction of the arrow. Apply a tensile torque of [3.0 ± 0.4 Nm (26 ± 4 inch
lbs.)] to the balancer timing belt so the belt is tense without any looseness. Tighten the assembling bolt to the standard torque in this state.
Then, fix the balancer timing belt tensioner.
Tightening torque: 19 ± 3 Nm (14 ± 2 ft. lbs.)
2. Connect special tool MB991668 to scan tool MB991502.
3. Connect special tool MB991704 to scan tool MB991502.
4. Connect special tool MB991704 to battery.
5. Turn the crankshaft clockwise two turns to set No.1 cylinder to TDC of its compression stroke and check that the sprocket timing marks are
aligned.
6. Select "BELT TENSION" on the menu screen of scan tool MB991502.
7. Hold special tool MB991668 to the middle of the drive belt between the sprockets (at the place indicated by arrow), approximately 10 - 20
mm (0.40 - 0.78 inch) away from the rear surface of the belt so that it is perpendicular to the belt (within an angle of ± 15 degree).
