Deflection method:
Apply a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) and measure the belt deflection between the alternator and the crankshaft pulley.
Deflection: 7.0 - 10.5 mm (0.28 - 0.41 in)
NOTE:
If adjustment is necessary:
1. Loosen the alternator adjusting belt and the alternator nut.
2. Move the alternator to obtain the proper belt tension, then retighten the adjusting bolt and the alternator nut to the specified torques.
3. Recheck the deflection of the belt.
Tension gauge method:
Attach the belt tension gauge to the belt and measure the belt tension.
Tension: 340 - 490 N (35 - 50 kgf, 77 - 110 lbf)
NOTE:
If adjustment is necessary
1 . Loosen the alternator adjusting belt and the alternator nut.
2. Move the alternator to obtain the proper belt tension, then retighten the adjusting bolt and the alternator nut to the specified torques.
3. Recheck the tension of the belt.
