- Raise the hood in order to access the alternator belt.
Note: See Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Compartment Hood - Raise/Lower" .
- Inspect the condition of the belt. Replace any belt that is excessively worn.
- In order to check the belt tension, apply 110 N (25 lb) of force midway between the pulleys. Correctly adjusted belts will deflect 13 to 19 mm (.5 to .75 inch) .
- If the belt deflection is not correct, adjust the belt.
