Drive Belt (For Hatchback) -- On-Vehicle Inspection |
1. INSPECT FOR FAN AND GENERATOR V BELT |
![]() |
Check the fan and generator V belt for wear, cracks or other signs of damage.
If any of the following defects is found, replace the fan and generator V belt.- The fan and generator V belt is cracked.
- The fan and generator V belt is worn out to the extent that the cords are exposed.
- The fan and generator V belt has chunks missing from the ribs.
- The fan and generator V belt is cracked.
Check that the fan and generator V belt fits properly in the ribbed grooves.
Text in Illustration *a Correct *b Incorrect - HINT:
- Check with your hand to confirm that the fan and generator V belt has not slipped out of the grooves on the bottom of the pulley. If it has slipped out, replace the fan and generator V belt. Install a new fan and generator V belt correctly.

Inspect the V belt deflection and tension.
Text in Illustration *A w/o Air Conditioner *B w/ Air Conditioner - Deflection:
Item Specified Condition New belt 8.0 to 9.0 mm (0.31 to 0.35 in) Used belt 12.5 to 13.5 mm (0.49 to 0.53 in)
- Tension:
Item Specified Condition New belt 700 to 800 N (71 to 82 kg, 157 to 180 lb) Used belt 300 to 400 N (31 to 41 kg, 67 to 90 lb)
- HINT:
- When inspecting the V belt deflection, apply 98 N (10 kgf) tensile force to it.
- Perform the V belt inspection and adjustment while the engine is cold.
- V-ribbed belt tension and deflection should be checked immediately after installation of a new belt, and after cranking the engine when inspecting a used belt.
- Check the V belt deflection at the point between the specified pulleys where the deflection is greatest.
- When installing a new belt, set its tension to the intermediate value of the specification.
- When inspecting a belt which has been used for over 5 minutes, apply the Used Belt specifications.
- When reinstalling a belt which has been used for over 5 minutes, adjust its deflection and tension to the intermediate values of each Used Belt specification.
- V-ribbed belt tension and deflection should be checked after 2 revolutions of engine cranking.
- When using a belt tension gauge, confirm its accuracy by using a master gauge first.
