BELT DEFLECTION INSPECTION
Measure the belt deflection by pushing the alternator
belt at the center between the alternator belt pulley (1)
and crankshaft pulley (2) with 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) of
force.

New belt
Used belt
If the belt tension is out of specification, adjust the belt
tension.
BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
1. If the belt tension or belt deflection is out of
specification, loosen the bolt (1) and nut (2) and
adjust the belt tension or deflection by turning the
special adjuster bolt (3) right or left.
2. After adjustment, tighten the nut first, then tighten
the bolt to the specified torque.
