Belt tension is achieved by an automatic tensioner; neither the belt nor the tensioner require service apart from checking
the belt wear indicators at each normal service interval.
The minimum service life of the drive belt is 100,000 miles.
Never apply oil to the belt or to the belt tensioner.
Generator - Charging Circuit

Parts List
The main components of the charging system are shown above.
The output from the generator 'B+' main te rminal passes to the battery via the main terminal on the starter motor and then
the power cable to the high power protection module located in the luggage compartment. From this module, a short main
power cable supplies the ba ttery positive terminal.
The return circuit is through the vehicle body and supplementary ground cables.
The high power protection mo dule comprises four fuses, each rated at 250 Amps.
Battery output uses the same power cable as the charging circ uit, to the high power protection module and to the starter
motor main terminal. Two similar cables, but not such a high rating, supply battery power from the high power protection
module to the fuse box in the luggage compartment an d to the fuse boxes at the front of the vehicle.
