When using a tension gauge

  1. Check the drive belt tension. (Refer to ON VEHICLE SERVICE .)
  2. Use a belt tension gauge in the middle of the belt between the pulleys (at the place indicated by the arrow) to measure that the belt tension is within the standard value.
    1. Standard value: 245 - 412 N 
  3. If not within the standard value, replace the auto-tensioner. (Refer to TIMING BELT .)
