Drive Belt Rumble
Definition
Accessory drive belt rumble can be defined as a low pitch tapping, knocking or thumping noise heard at or just above
idle, once per rotation of the drive belt or a specific co mponent. Drive belt rumble is generally caused by one of the
following:
• pilling or strings in the drive belt grooves,
• separation of the drive belt, or
• a damaged or faulty drive belt.
NOTE
Pilling is the small balls (p ills) or strings of rubber
in the belt grooves caused by the accumulation of
rubber dust.
Diagnostic Aids
Vibration from the engine may cause a body component or other parts to emit a rumbling noise.
The drive belt may have a condition that cannot be seen or felt. Sometimes the replacement of the belt may be the only
way to confirm the belt is faulty.
If the drive belt has been replaced and the di agnostic table completed, but the rumble is still present only when the drive
belt is installed, an accessory drive component such as t he A/C compressor may be the cause. Varying the load to each
accessory drive component in turn, should help isolate which component is causing the noise.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to steps in the diagnostic table.
2 Confirms the symptom exists at the time of di agnosis. Other vehicle components may be causing the noise.
3 Confirms the accessory drive belt is the cause of the noise. Drive belt rumbling is often confused with an internal
engine noise due to the similarity in the description. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine briefly will
confirm whether or not the noise is related to the drive belt.
CAUTION
When running the engine with the accessory
drive belt removed, the coolant pump will not
be operating and the engine may overheat if
left unsupervised even for a short period.
NOTE
There may also be a number of DTCs set when
running the engine with the accessory drive belt
removed.
4 Inspecting the drive belt is to ensure t hat it is not causing the noise. Small cracks across the ribs of the drive belt
will not cause the noise and are not just ification alone to replace the belt. Belt separation can be identified by the
ply of the belt separating and may be seen at the edge of the belt or felt as lumps under the belt.
5 Small amounts of pilling is a normal condition and is deemed acceptable. When the pilling is severe (33% of the
belt groove depth), the belt does not have a smoot h surface to run on and should be replaced.

Drive Belt Vibration
Definition
Accessory drive belt vibration can be defined as a drive belt that jumps, shakes or rattles. Accessory drive belt vibration
is usually indicated by one of the following:
• the vibration is engine speed related, or
• the vibration is sensitive to accessory drive system load.
Diagnostic Aids
The accessory drive components such as the A/C compre ssor or generator can have an affect on engine vibration.
To aid in locating which component is causing the vibration, vary the load to each accessory drive component in turn and
note the effect it has on the vibration if any.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to steps in the diagnostic table.
2 Confirms the symptom exists at the time of di agnosis. Other vehicle components may be causing the noise.
3 Confirms the accessory drive belt is the cause of the noise. Drive belt rumbling is often confused with an internal
engine noise due to the similarity in the description. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine briefly will
confirm whether or not the noise is related to the drive belt.
CAUTION
When running the engine with the accessory
drive belt removed, the coolant pump will not
be operating and the engine may overheat if
left unsupervised even for a short period.
NOTE
There may also be a number of DTCs set when
running the engine with the accessory drive belt
removed.
4 The drive belt may cause a vibration. Inspecting the drive belt is considerably easier while the drive belt is
removed.
6 Inspecting the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that an inco rrect fastener has been installed.
8 This step should only be performed if t he coolant pump is driven by the drive belt. Inspect the coolant pump for a
bent shaft. Also inspect the coolant pump bearings for smooth operation and excessive play. Compare the coolant
pump with a known good pump.
9 Accessory drive component brackets that are bent, cra cked or loose may put extra strain on the accessory
component causing it to vibrate.

Replace
NOTE
• Quicker and more complete draining will
occur if the engine oil is at normal operating
temperature. However, care must be taken to
avoid scalding from the hot oil.
• It recommended the oil filter be changed at
each engine oil change, refer to 3.2 Oil Filter.
1 Remove the oil fill cap.
2 To ensure complete draining of the oil pan, raise the front and rear of the vehicle to maintain a level attitude. If not
using a hoist, support the vehicle with safety stands, refer to Section 0A General Information.
3 Clean any foreign material from around the oil drain pl ug and place a suitable, clean drain tray under the engine.

The oil may be hot. Avoid contact with the oil.
Ensure that eyes and skin are protected.
4 Remove the drain plug (1), taking care to avoid sca lding from the hot oil. Allow the oil to drain.
5 Clean and inspect the drain plug threads . If damaged, replace the drain plug.

Figure 6A1 – 24
