14. This test is to verify that the drive belt tensioner operates properly. If the drive belt tensioner is not operating properly,
proper belt tension may not be achieved to keep the drive belt from slipping which could cause a squeal noise.
15. This test is to verify that the drive belt is not too long, which would prevent the drive belt tensioner from working
properly. Also if an incorrect length drive belt was installed, it may not be routed properly and may be turning an
accessory drive component in the wrong direction.
16. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive component, incorrect
installation of the accessory drive component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from 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 that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley.
17. This test is to verify that the pulleys are the correct diameter or width. Using a known good vehicle compare the pulley
sizes.
19. Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged or there is not excessive pilling will only be a temporary repair.
