Compressor Drive Belt
INSPECTION
Check belt for wear and cracks, and replace as required.
Check belt tension by measuring how much it deflects when
pushed at intermediate point between compressor pulley (1)
and crankshaft pulley (2) with about 100 N (10 kg, 22 lb)
force.
If belt tension is out of above specification, adjust belt ten-
sion according to the following procedures.
Deflection of compressor drive belt
“a” : 6 – 9 mm (0.24 – 0.35 in.)
ADJUSTMENT
For Vehicle With P/S
1) Loosen tension pulley bolts (3) and set hexagon wrench (4)
to hexagon hole.
2) Turn tension pulley (5) counterclockwise by hexagon wrench
in order to obtain above specified tension.
3) Tighten tension pulley bolts (3) to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Tension pulley bolts
(a) : 25N·m (2.5 kg-m, 18.0 lb-ft)
For Vehicle Without P/S
1) Loosen tension pulley tightening nut (6).
2) Adjust belt tension by tighten or loosen tension pulley adjust-
ing bolt (7) in order to obtain above specified tension.
3) Tighten tension pulley tightening nut (6).

A/C System Inspection of ECM and ITS Cir-
cuits
ECM and its circuits can be checked at ECM wiring couplers by
measuring voltage.
Voltage Check
1) Remove ECM from vehicle by referring to “Engine Control
Module” in Section 6E.
2) Connect ECM couplers (1) to ECM (2).
3) Check voltage at each terminal of couplers connected.CAUTION:
ECM cannot be checked by itself. It is strictly prohibited
to connect voltmeter or ohmmeter to ECM with couplers
disconnected from ECM.
NOTE:
Because each terminal voltage is affected by the battery
voltage, confirm that the battery voltage is 11 V or more
when ignition switch is ON.
