A/C Compressor Belt
Adjustment
Detlection Method
1. Apply a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbfl, and measure
the deflection between the A,/C comDressor and the
crankshaft pulley.
A/C Compressor Eelt
Used Beh: 7.5 - 10.5 mm (0.30 - 0.41 inl
New Belt: 5.0 - 7.0 mm (0.20 - 0.28 in)
Note these items when adjusting belt tension:
. lf there are cracks or any damage evident on the
belt, replace it with a new one.
. "Used belt" means a belt which has been used
for five minutes or more.
. "New belt" means a belt which has been used
for less than five minutes.
Loosen the pivot bolt of the idler pulley bracket and
the locknut ofthe adjusting bolt.
Turn the adjusting bolt to get proper belt tension,
Retighten the pivot bolt of the idler pulley bracket and
the locknut ofthe adiusting bolt.
Recheck the deflection of the A,/C compressor belt,
Tension Gauge Method
1. Attach the special tool to the Ay'C compressor belt as
shown below, and measure the tension of the belt.
A/C Comoressor Belt
Used Belt; 390 - 540 N (40 - 55 kgf, 88 - 120 lbtl
New Belt: 740 - 880 N (75 - 90 kgf, 170 - 200 lbt)
Note these items when adjusting belt tension:
. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the
belt tension gauge.
. lf there are cracks or any damage evident on the
belt, replace it with a new one.
. "Used belt" means a belt which has been used
for five minutes or more.
. "New belt" means a belt which has been used
for less than five minutes.
