Drive Belt Inspection
Inspection of the drive belt is required at least every 90
days of vehicle use (average 12 mile/day) not to exceed 1
700 km (1 100 mile) or belt indicator light turn on (100 hours
of use) counted by the hour meter. More frequent inspection
is necessary if the vehicle is subjected to hard usage.
WARNING
Neglect, abuse, or failure to maintain the transmis-
sion can result in a severely worn or damaged drive
belt locking up the transmission and wheels. This
can cause the operator to lose control and have an
accident resulting in injury or death.
•
Remove the torque converter cover (see Converter Sys-
tem chapter).
•
Measure the width [A] of the belt at several locations with
a pair of suitable straightedges [B] as shown.
If any measurements exceed the service limit, replace the
belt.
Belt Width
Standard: 2 9.7 ∼ 30.3 mm (1.169 ∼ 1.193 in.)
Service Limit: 28.0 mm (1.102 in.)
•
Check the belt [A] for abnormal wear [B].
○
Measure the width [C] of the belt at abnormal wear point.
If any measurements exceed 0.5 mm (0.02 in.), replace
the belt.
○
When using the belt of large abnormal wear, the drive belt
failure detection switch could be activated.
•
Check the belt for cracks, breaks, or peeling.
If necessary, replace the belt with a new one.
