Procedure
- 16. Check to see whether the metal wire (removed
- in step 14) can be reinserted and removed without
- any resistance. If the metal wire can be inserted
- and removed without any resistance, it means that
- the belt has proper tension. Therefore, remove the
- metal wire. Check that the rod protrusion of the
- auto-tensioner is within the standard value.
- Standard value: 3.8 - 4.5 mm
- 17. If the metal wire offers resistance when
- removed, repeat the previous steps 9 through 14
- until the standard value is obtained as measured
- by the rod projection of the auto-tensioner rod.
