3 The noise may be an internal engine noise. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine briefly will confirm
whether or not the noise is related to the drive belt.
CAUTION
When running the engine with the accessory
drive belt removed, the coolant pump will not
be operating and the engine may overheat if
left unsupervised even for a short period.
NOTE
There may also be a number of DTCs set when
running the engine with the accessory drive belt
removed.
4 The inspection of bearings should include the following accessory drive components: • drive belt tensioners,
• drive belt idlers,
• generator,
• power steering pump,
• coolant pump, and
• A/C compressor.
The drive belt may need to be installed and the accessory drive components operated separately, at varying loads to confirm the location of the faulty bearing, refer to the relevant Sections for component inspection and repair
procedures.

Drive Belt Rumble
Definition
Accessory drive belt rumble can be defined as a low pitch tapping, knocking or thumping noise heard at or just above idle,
once per rotation of the drive belt or a specific component. Drive belt rumble is generally caused by one of the following:
• pilling or strings in the drive belt grooves,
• separation of the drive belt, or
• a damaged or faulty drive belt.
