2-24 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Converter System
Drive Belt Inspection
•
Remove the drive belt (see Drive Belt Removal in the
Converter System chapter).
•
Measure the width [A] of the belt.
If any measurements exceed the service limit, replace the
belt.
Belt Width
Standard: 34.1 mm (1.34 in.)
Service Li mit: 32.6 mm ( 1.28 in.)
•
Check the belt for wear, cracks, breaks or peeling.
If necessary, replace the belt with a new one.
Belt [A]
Crack [B]
Broken [C]
NOTE
○
Whenever the belt is replaced, inspect the drive and the
driven pulleys.
Drive B elt Deflection Inspection
•
Remove the torque converter inner cover (see Torque
Converter Inner Cover Removal in the Converter System
chapter).
•
Put the transmission in neutral and rotate the driven pulley
by hand to make sure the belt is shifted all the way to the
top of the driven pulley.
•
Measure the belt deflection as shown in the figure.
○
Place a straightedge [A] on top of the belt between the
drive pulley [B] and the driven pulley [C].
○
Use a ruler to push the belt away from the straightedge.
Push hard, but with no more force than 59 N (6 kgf, 13 lb).
Belt D eflection
Standard: 28 ∼ 36 mm (1.10 ∼ 1.42 in.)
If the belt deflection is not within the specified range, first
measure the drive belt width (see Drive Belt Inspection).
Adjust the deflection b y adding or removing spacers be-
tween the driven pulley s haft hub and cam ramp.
•
When adjusting the deflection, less is better than more.
Less deflection will maintain better performance for more
time as the belt width decreases by normal wear, which
causes the deflection to increase with usage.
