POWER STEERING DRIVE BELT TENSION CHECK Check the drive belt tension by the following procedure. < WHEN USING SCAN TOOL MB991958 > Required Special Tools:
MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly) [MB991824: Vehicle
Communication Interface (V.C.I.)] MB991668: Belt Tension Meter Set NOTE: Because the frequency depends on the belt material,
confirm Part No. shown on the reverse of the belt.

2. Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position and select "Belt Tension
Measurement" from the special tool MB991824 screen menu.
4. Hold special tool MB991668 (microphone) to the middle of the drive belt
between the pulleys (at the place indicated by the arrow), about 10 - 20 mm
(0.4 - 0.8 inch) away from the rear surface of the belt and so that it is
perpendicular to the belt (within an angle of+/-15 degree angle).
5. Gently tap the middle of the belt between the pulleys (the place indicated by
the arrow) with your finger as shown in the illustration, and check that the
vibration frequency of the belt is within the stan
dard value.
CAUTION:
The temperature of the surface of the belt
should be as close as possible to underhood
temperature. Do not let any contaminants such as water or
oil get onto the microphone. If strong gusts of wind blow against the
microphone or if there are any loud sources
of noise nearby, the values measured by the
microphone may not correspond to actual
values. If the microphone is touching the belt while
the measurement is being made, the values
measured by the microphone may not
correspond to actual values. Do not take the measurement while the
vehicle's engine is running.
