Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Sonoma and 2003 Chevrolet S10 Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2. This test is to verify the symptom is present during diagnosing. Other vehicle components may cause a similar symptom.
  2. 3. This test is to verify that the drive belt is causing the rumbling noise. Rumbling noise may be confused with an internal engine noise due to the similarity in the description. When removing the drive belt the water pump will not be operating and the engine may overheat. DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed.
  3. 4. Inspecting the drive belt is to ensure that it is not causing the noise. Small cracks across the ribs of the drive belt will not cause the noise. Belt separation is identified by the plays of the belt separating and may be seen at the edge of the belt or felt as a lump in the belt.
  4. 5. Small amounts of pilling is a normal condition and acceptable. When the pilling is severe the drive belt does not have a smooth surface for proper operation.
