Power Steering Pump Belt (Serpentine Belt)
- On most applications, serpentine belt tension is maintained by automatic tensioner and no adjustment is necessary. Ensure tensioner indicator mark, on movable portion of tensioner, is within limits of slotted area on stationary portion of tensioner. Any reading outside these limits indicates a worn belt or defective tensioner.
- If installing NEW belt, ensure tensioner indicator is within limit marks. If installing original belt, ensure belt operating length and/or tensioner operating range marks are not out of limits. Replace belt or tensioner as necessary. See appropriate SERVICE & ADJUSTMENT SPECIFICATIONS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.
