1. The main belt drives the alternator, fan drive visco coupling, power steering pump. If there is air conditioning, the second belt from the crankshaft pulley drives the air conditioning compressor.
2. Raise the front of the vehicle with a jack to gain access to the belts. Then you need to remove the protective pallet of the power unit (if installed) and, if equipped, the engine top cover.
3. Check that there are no delaminations or cracks on the belt along its entire length. This will require cranking the engine, which is carried out using a head with a knob, grabbing the crankshaft pulley bolt. Unroll the belt between the pulleys so you can check the back side as well. Make sure there are no chafing on the back surface. Check pulleys for cracks, burrs, distortion and corrosion. Use a small mirror if necessary.
4. If the belt needs to be replaced, contact chapter 2B.
