1.
While pressing the handle (A) of the gauge, insert the belt (B) between pulley and pulley (or idler) into the gap between spindle (C) and hook (D).
Measure the belt tension using a mechanical tension gauge or a sonic tension meter.
Tension
[With ISG (Idle Stop & Go) System]
New Belt :
1127.8 ~ 1225.8 N (115 ~ 125 kgf, 831.8 ~ 904.1 lbf)
Used Belt :
863.0 ~ 961.1 N (88 ~ 98 kgf, 636.5 ~ 708.8 lbf)
[With overrunning alternator decoupler(OAD)]
New Belt :
637.4 ~ 735.5 N (65 ~ 75 kgf, 470.1 ~ 542.5 lbf)
Used Belt :
490.3 ~ 588.3 N (50 ~ 60 kgf, 361.7 ~ 434.0 lbf)
[Without overrunning alternator decoupler(OAD)]
New Belt :
882.6 ~ 980.7 N (90 ~ 100 kgf, 651.0 ~ 723.3 lbf)
Used Belt :
686.5 ~ 784.5 N (70 ~ 80 kgf, 506.3 ~ 578.6 lbf)
While pressing the handle (A) of the gauge, insert the belt (B) between pulley and pulley (or idler) into the gap between spindle (C) and hook (D).
After releasing the handle (A), read a value on the dial pointed by the indicator (B).
Input the belt specifications into the tension meter (A).
Belt type | Location of measurement | Input data | ||
M (Mass, g/m.rib) | W (Width, rib) | S (Span, mm) | ||
With ISG (Idle Stop & Go) System and with A/C | Crankshaft pulley to A/C compressor pulley | 13.4 | 7 | 196 |
With ISG (Idle Stop & Go) System and without A/C | Idler to alternator pulley | 13.4 | 6 | 130 |
Without ISG (Idle Stop & Go) System and with A/C | Crankshaft pulley to A/C compressor pulley | 13.4 | 5 | 196 |
Without ISG (Idle Stop & Go) System and without A/C | Idler to alternator pulley | 13.4 | 5 | 123 |
Measurement of S (Span) : Caculate average value after measuring the distance 3~4 times.
Locate the micro phone (B) close to the center of belt span (A) and bounce the belt by finger 2~3 times. Read a value on the display.
[With A/C]
[Without A/C]
Loosen the mounting bolts (A).
Tighten the adjusting bolt (B) clockwise in loose tension ; loosen the bolt counterclockwise in high tension.
Recheck tension of the belt.
After adjusting tension, tighten the through bolts.
Tightening torque
12mm (0.47in) bolt :
26.5 ~ 32.3 N.m (2.7 ~ 3.3 kgf.m, 19.5 ~ 23.9 Ib-ft)
14mm (0.55in) bolt :
29.4 ~ 41.2 N.m (3.0 ~ 4.2 kgf.m, 21.7 ~ 30.4 Ib-ft)
