Removal

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Loosen the generator tensioner mounting bolts (A).
  3. Loosen the adjusting bolt (B) clockwise, lightly tensioning it.
  4. Remove the drive belt (A).

Inspection

Drive Belt Inspection
  1. Visually inspect the belt for excessive wear, frayed cords, etc. If any defect is found, replace the drive belt.

Adjustment

Drive Belt Tension Measurement and Adjustment. Belt Tension Measurement: Measure the belt tension using a mechanical tension gauge or a sonic tension meter. Tension: New belt: 980.7–1079 N·m N; Used belt: 706.1–804 N·m NUsing a mechanical tension gauge (type BT-33-73F, BTG-2)
  1. While pressing the handle (A) of the gauge, insert the belt (B) between the pulley and the pulley (or tensioner roller) into the gap between the spindle (C) and the hook (D).
  2. Release the handle (A) and read the value on the dial indicator (B).
  3. Enter the belt specifications into the tension gauge.
    Belt Type Measurement Point Input Data
    M (Mass, g/m) W (Width, ribs) S (Span, mm)
    With A/C Crankshaft pulley to A/C compressor pulley 16,0 006.0 178,9
    Without A/C Tensioner to generator pulley 16,0 006.0 Actual measured value

  4. Position the microphone (B) closer to the center of the belt (A) and strike the belt with a finger 2–3 times. Read the value on the display. [With A/C]
    [Without A/C]
  5. Loosen the mounting bolts (A).
  6. Lightly tighten the adjusting bolt (B) clockwise; loosen the bolt counterclockwise to increase tension.
  7. Recheck the belt tension.
  8. After adjusting the tension, tighten the through bolts. Tightening torque: 12 mm bolt: 24.3–27 N·m [Part No.: 11403-08407B] 12 mm bolt: 26.9–32 N·m [Part No.: 11405-08406K] 14 mm (0.55 in) bolt: 29.4–41 N·m
Using a sonic tension meter (type U-505/507). If adjustment is required:

Installation

  1. Install the drive belt (A).
  2. Adjust the tension by tightening the generator tension adjusting bolt (B).
  3. Install the mounting bolts (A). Tightening torque: 12 mm bolt: 24.3–27 N·m [Part No.: 11403-08407B] 12 mm bolt: 26.9–32 N·m [Part No.: 11405-08406K] 14 mm (0.55 in) bolt: 29.4–41 N·m
