Drive Belt Chirp
Definition
Accessory drive belt chirping can be defined as a high-pitched noise that is heard once per revolution of the drive belt or
a pulley.
NOTE
Chirping during start-up in cold damp conditions
that abates once the engine reaches operating
temperature is considered normal.
Diagnostic Aids
The symptom may be intermittent due to moisture on the drive belts or pulleys. It may be necessary to spray a small
amount of water on the drive belt to duplicate and confirm a customers concern. If spraying water onto the drive belt
system duplicates the symptom, cleaning the belt pulleys may be the solution.
A loose or incorrectly installed body component, suspension component or other item may be the cause of the noise.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to steps in the diagnostic table.
2 The noise may not be engine related. This step is to confirm the engine is making the noise. If the engine is not making the noise, do not proceed further with this diagnostic procedure.
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 Inspect all drive pump pulleys for pilling. NOTE
Pilling is the small balls (pills) or strings of rubber
in the belt grooves caused by the accumulation of
rubber dust.
6 Misalignment of the accessory drive system pulleys may be caused by incorrect mounting of an accessory drive component (A/C compressor, generator etc.) or pulley. Misalignment may also be caused by incorrect installation of
a pulley during a previous repair. Test for a misaligned pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across
two or three pulleys. If a misaligned pulley is found, refer to the relevant component service information for the
correct installation and removal procedures.
10 Inspecting the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that an incorrect fastener has been installed.
12 Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other damage that would prevent the drive belt from not seating correctly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface when the back end of the
belt is used as the driving surface.
14 Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged and there is no excessive pilling will only be a temporary repair.

7 Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused by one of the following:
• Incorrect mounting of an accessory drive component,
• Incorrect installation of an accessory drive pulley or,
• Bent or damaged pulley.
Test for a misaligned pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across 2 or 3 pulleys. If a misaligned pulley is found, refer to the relevant component service information for the correct installation and removal procedures.
8 This test is to confirm the pulleys are the correct diameter and/or width. Using a known good vehicle, compare the pulley sizes.

Drive Belt Whine
Definition
Accessory drive belt whine can be defined as a high-pitched continuous noise that is most likely to be caused by a failed
bearing in one of the accessory drive components.
Diagnostic Aids
The drive belts themselves will not cause a whine. If the noise is intermittent, confirm the accessory drive components by
varying their loads, making sure they are operated to their maximum capacity. An overcharged A/C system, restrictions
in the power steering pressure circuit or a faulty generator or coolant pump are likely causes of accessory drive belt
whine.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to steps in the diagnostic table.

NOTE
Pilling is the small balls (pills) or strings of rubber
in the belt grooves caused by the accumulation of
rubber dust.
Diagnostic Aids
Vibration from the engine may cause a body component or other parts to emit a rumbling noise.
The drive belt may have a condition that cannot be seen or felt. Sometimes the replacement of the belt may be the only
way to confirm the belt is faulty.
If the drive belt has been replaced and the diagnostic table completed, but the rumble is still present only when the drive
belt is installed, an accessory drive component such as the A/C compressor may be the cause. Varying the load to each
accessory drive component in turn, should help isolate which component is causing the noise.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to steps in the diagnostic table.
2 Confirms the symptom exists at the time of diagnosis. Other vehicle components may be causing the noise.
3 Confirms the accessory drive belt is the cause of the noise. Drive belt rumbling is often confused with an internal engine noise due to the similarity in the description. 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 Inspecting the drive belt is to ensure that it is not causing the noise. Small cracks across the ribs of the drive belt will not cause the noise and are not justification alone to replace the belt. Belt separation can be identified by the
ply of the belt separating and may be seen at the edge of the belt or felt as lumps under the belt.
5 Small amounts of pilling is a normal condition and is deemed acceptable. W hen the pilling is severe (33% of the belt groove depth), the belt does not have a smooth surface to run on and should be replaced.

Drive Belt Falls Off
Definition
The drive belt falls off during normal operation or does not ride correctly on the accessory drive pulleys.
Diagnostic Aids
If the accessory drive belt repeatedly falls off the drive pulleys, this is most likely due to pulley misalignment.
An extra load that is quickly applied and released by an accessory drive component (e.g. A/C compressor) may cause
the accessory drive belt to fall off. In this circumstance, confirm the fault by operating the accessory drive components in
turn, noting which one caused the belt to fall off.
Lack of drive belt tension may also cause the belt to fall off the pulleys. Low drive belt tension could be caused by one of
the following:
• an incorrect drive belt length,
• a faulty drive belt tensioner, or
• a stretched or faulty drive belt.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to steps in the diagnostic table.
2 Confirms the condition of the drive belt. Damage may have occurred to the drive belt when it first fell off or it may have been damaged which caused the belt to fall off.
4 Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused by:

ISUZU KB P190 2007

Engine Mechanical – V6 Page 6A1–51

• the incorrect installation or mounting of an accessory drive component,
• the incorrect installation of an accessory drive component pulley, or
• a damaged or bent accessory drive pulley.
Test for a misaligned pulley using a suitable straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or more pulleys. If a misaligned pulley is found, refer to the service information for the particular component, for the correct pulley
replacement procedures.
5 Inspecting the pulleys should include an inspection for dents or other damage that would prevent the drive belt from seating correctly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back side of the belt is
used.
6 Accessory drive component mounting brackets that are bent will cause the drive belt to fall off.
7 Inspection of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that an incorrect fastener was installed. Missing, loose or incorrect fasteners may cause pulley misalignment from the fasteners moving under load. Over-tightening of the
fasteners may cause deflection of mounting brackets and result in misaligned accessory drive pulleys.
