V-BELT CONDITION

Check the whole rounds of the V-belt for cracks, fray-
ing and wear.

DRIVE BELT TENSION CHECK AND
ADJUSTMENT <4G1>

Check the drive belt tension in the following proce-
dure.

Standard value:

<When using the M.U.T.-II>
1. Connect the special tool belt tension meter set

(MB991668) to the M.U.T.-II.

2. Connect the M.U.T.-II to the diagnosis connector.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position and

select "Belt Tension Measurement" from the menu
screen.

4. Hold the microphone to the middle of the drive

belt between the pulleys (at the place indicated by
the arrow), about 10

− 20 mm away from the rear

surface of the belt and so that it is perpendicular
to the belt (within an angle of

± 15 °).

5. Gently tap the middle of the belt between the

pulleys (the place indicated by the arrow) with
your finger as shown in the illustration, and check
that the vibration frequency of the belt is within the
standard value.

<When using the Vehicle communication
interface (V.C.I.)>
1. Connect the special tool belt tension meter set

(MB991668) to the special tool V.C.I.
