When using a tension gauge

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Check the tension of the drive belt. (Refer to DRIVE BELT TENSION CHECK  ).
  2. Use a belt tension gauge in the middle of the belt between the pulleys shown in the illustration (at the place indicated by the arrow) to check that the belt tension is within the standard value.

    Standard value (Reference): 262 - 430 N (59 - 97 lb) 

  3. If not within the standard value, replace the auto-tensioner. (Refer to << D >> AUTO-TENSIONER REMOVAL  ).
