Generator Drive Belt Tension Adjustment

GENERATOR DRIVE BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT [3.8L ENGINE]
If the vibration frequency, tension or deflection is outside the standard value, adjust by the following procedure.





1. Loosen the tensioner pulley fixing nut.
2. With the tensioner pulley fixing nut temporarily tightened to 15 ± 5 Nm (11 ± 4 ft-lb), set the belt tension or defection amount to the standard value using the adjusting bolt.





3. Tighten the tension pulley fixing nut. Tightening torque: 49 ± 10 Nm (36 ± 7 ft-lb)
4. When the belt tension is adjusted by measuring the belt deflection, adjust it with a tool for vibration frequency measurement or tension measurement afterward.
