B. Check Generator Belt

Visual Inspection:





1. Check the belt surface for damage, peeling or cracks.

2. Check the belt for worn or hardened areas.

3. Check the belt to make sure it fits properly into the pulley grooves.

Belt Tension Test:

The recommended way to check belt tension is with a tension gauge.

"Type A" Tension Gauge





1. Place the hook between two cogs of the belt.

2. Do not let the dial section of the tension gauge contact other objects during measurement.

3. Read the tension value on the dial and compare the reading to Hyundai specifications below.

MODEL HYUNDAI SPECIFICATION
ALL 100 +/- 20 lbs. (45.5 +/- 9.1kg)

NOTE 1:
Always take two or more readings, moving the belt each time.

NOTE 2:
If a tension gauge is not available, apply a pressure of 20-22 pounds (88.96-97.86N) to the belt. If the belt can be deflected more than 1/2 inch (12.7 mm), the belt will require tightening.
