INSTRUCTION
ALTERNATOR BELT INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT (GASOLINE 2.0)
NOTE: When using a new belt, first adjust the deflection or tension to the values for the new belt, then readjust the deflection or tension to the values for the used belt after running engine for five minutes.
Deflection method
Apply a force of 98N (10 kgf, 22 lbf), and measure the deflection between the
alternator and crankshaft pulley.
Deflection
- Used Belt: 5.0 ~ 6.0 mm (0.20 ~ 0.23 in)
- New Belt: 4.0 ~ 5.0 mm (0.16 ~ 0.20 in)
NOTE: If the belt is worn or damaged, replace it.

Belt tension gauge method:
Attach the belt tension gauge to the belt and measure the tension. Follow the
gauge manufacturer’s instructions.
Tension
- Used Belt: 340~490 N (35~50 kgf, 77~110 lbf)
- New Belt: 540~640 N (55~65 kgf, 121~143 lbf)
NOTE: If the belt is worn or damaged, replace it.

If adjustment is necessary
-
Loosen the adjusting bolt (A) and the lock bolt (B).
-
Move the alternator to obtain the proper belt tension, then retighten the nuts.
Loosening Adjusting Bolt And Lock Bolt -
Recheck the deflection or tension of the belt.
