2005 CHRYSLER SEBRING COUPE check engine

DRIVE BELT (FOR GENERATOR, WATER PUMP,
POWER STEERING PUMP)
Check the tension of the drive belt. The deflection must
be within specifications, when depressed at a point
midway between the pulleys as shown in the illustrations
with a force of about 100 N (22 lb.).Inspect the drive belt for evidence of cuts and cracks, and
replace it if damaged. When replacing the belt with a new
belt, make sure that there is no interference between the
belt and other engine components.
Then, check the tension of the belt at the designated
point. The deflection must be within specification.

(1) The measured pressure after the vehicle has
been parked for at least three hours, or
(2} The measured pressure when the vehicle is
driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after having
been parked for three hours.
