The accessory drivebelt is a vital component at the front of the engine, responsible for driving various components like the alternator, power steering pump, and water pump. It's susceptible to wear and should undergo periodic inspection to ensure it's in good condition. Inspecting the belt is essential to catch signs of wear, damage, or potential issues early.

To inspect the accessory drivebelt, follow these steps: Raise the front of the vehicle and secure it on jackstands. Remove the right-hand wheel and splash shield in the right fender well. Inspect the entire belt length for cracks, separation, fraying, or glazing. Assess the pulleys for damage. Replacement may not be necessary until the belt has traveled over 100,000 miles. Small cracks in ribbed belts may be acceptable unless they are extensive or deep.
