Diagnostic Aids
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The drive belt(s) will not cause the whine.
If the whine is intermittent, verify that it is not the accessory drive component(s) by varying their loads, making sure they are operating to their maximum capacity. An overcharged air conditioning (A/C) system, a power steering system restriction or the incorrect fluid, or a failing generator are suggested items to inspect.
