Note. This check must be carried out with a cold engine.
Used belt
1. Remove the engine bottom cover
2. Check for cracks or damage to the drive belt. If the drive belt is cracked or damaged, replace it.
Checking by the principle of operation of the belt tension sensor
3. Rotate the crankshaft pulley one revolution or more. Connect the belt tension gauge to the belt itself and measure the tension. Follow the sensor manufacturer's instructions for use. If belt tension is required, go to step 5.
Tension: 440-590 N.
Bend test
4. Rotate the crankshaft pulley one revolution or more. Apply a force of 98 N and measure the bend at midpoint A between the air conditioner compressor (between the generator in the absence of air conditioning) and crankshaft pulley. If belt tension is required, go to step 5.
Adjustment
5. Loosen lock bolt A and fixing bolt B.
6. Turn adjusting bolt C to obtain the desired tension, then tighten the stop and mounting bolts to the correct torque.
7. Recheck belt tension.
New belt
1. Remove the engine bottom cover (with air conditioning).
Checking by the principle of operation of the belt tension sensor
2. Connect the belt tension sensor to the belt itself and measure the tension. Follow the sensor manufacturer's instructions for use. If belt tension is required, go to step 4.
Note. Does not rotate the crankshaft pulley until the belt tension is measured.
