Drive Belt Tension Check
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mazda 626. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Belt tension can be verified in place of belt deflection. Verify the drive belt tension when the engine is cold, or at least 30 min
after the engine has stopped. Using the SST
, verify the belt tension between any two pulleys.
- If the tension is not within the specification, adjust it. See DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENT .
