Drive Belt Chirp
Definition
Accessory drive belt chirping can be defined as a high-pitched noise that is heard once per revolution of the drive belt or
a pulley.
NOTE
Chirping during start-up in cold damp conditions
that abates once the engine reaches operating
temperature is considered normal.
Diagnostic Aids
The symptom may be intermittent due to moisture on the driv e belts or pulleys. It may be necessary to spray a small
amount of water on the drive belt to dup licate and confirm a customers concern. If spraying water onto the drive belt
system duplicates the symptom, cleaning the belt pulleys may be the solution.
A loose or incorrectly installed body component, suspension component or other item may be the cause of the noise.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to steps in the diagnostic table.
2 The noise may not be engine related. This step is to confirm the engine is making t he noise. If the engine is not
making the noise, do not proceed further with this diagnostic procedure.
3 The noise may be an internal engine noise. 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 Inspect all drive pump pulleys for pilling. NOTE
Pilling is the small balls (p ills) or strings of rubber
in the belt grooves caused by the accumulation of
rubber dust.
6 Misalignment of the accessory drive system pulleys ma y be caused by incorrect mounting of an accessory drive
component (A/C compressor, generator etc.) or pulley. Misa lignment may also be caused by incorrect installation of
a pulley during a previous repair. Test for a misaligned pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across
two or three pulleys. If a misaligned pulley is found, refer to the relevant component service information for the
correct installation and removal procedures.
10 Inspecting the fasteners can elim inate the possibility that an incorrect fastener has been installed.
12 Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspec ting for a dent or other damage that would prevent the
drive belt from not seating correctly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface when the back end of the
belt is used as the driving surface.
14 Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged and there is no excessive p illing will only be a temporary repair.

2.3 Coolant Pump
The coolant pump is a centrifugal vane impeller type pump. The pump consists of a housing and an impeller. The
impeller is a flat plate mounted on the pump shaft with a series of flat or curved blades (vanes). W hen the impeller
rotates, the coolant between the vanes is thrown outward by centrifugal force. The impeller shaft is supported by sealed
bearings. The sealed bearings do not need to be lubricated. Grease cannot leak out, dirt and water cannot get in as long
as the seal is not damaged or worn.
The coolant pump (1) is mounted to the engine front cover
and is driven by the crankshaft pulley (2) via a multi-ribbed
drive belt (3), turning the pump pulley (4), bolted to the
coolant pump flange (5). Coolant enters the engine
through the coolant inlet pipe and thermostat at the rear of
engine and passes through the engine to the coolant
pump on the front engine cover and exits via the coolant
outlet housing (6) located at the front of the intake
manifold.

complete pump from the tool.

Refer to 3.1 Service Notes in this
Section, for important safety items.
3 Carefully remove the coolant filler cap.
4 Insert the tube of the pump into the coolant, and then press the bulb to obtain a sample.
5 Bend the tube around and insert the end into the cover plate opening.
Figure 6B1 – 15
6 Press the pump bulb to deposit a few drops of coolant onto the measuring surface. Do not open the plastic cover when taking readings, as moisture evaporation will change the reading obtained.
7 Point the coolant tester toward any light source, looking into the eyepiece.
a The coolant protection reading is at the point where the dividing line between the light and
dark, crosses the scale.
b The scale for ethylene glycol (bold arrow) is the reference scale for either DEX-COOL®
long-life coolant or its equivalent, known as
Extended Life Anti-freeze Coolant conforming
to GM specification 6277M.
NOTE
The temperature scale is reversed from that of
a conventional thermometer. Below zero
readings are on the upper half of the scale.
8 A reading between – 30 and – 52 °C (corresponding
to a coolant concentration between 45 to 60%), is
satisfactory for the HFV6 engine cooling system.

4.7 Black Light and Dye Leak Diagnosis Method
It is strongly recommended that this diagnostic method be used to diagnose fluid leaks. This method is a proven and
reliable method that identifies the specific leak source.
The black light kit can be used for the leak detection of a number of fluids, when used with the appropriate tracer dye.
Examples are: Coolant, Engine Oil, Automatic Transmission Fluid and Air Conditioning Refrigerant (R134A).
The following is a summary of the steps involved in detecting a cooling system fluid leak using black light and dye:
1 Pour specified amount of dye into the cooling system via the coolant filler cap on the outlet housing. Refer 3.1 Service Notes in this Section.
2 Road test the vehicle under normal operating conditions.
3 Direct the light towards the suspect area. The fluid leak will appear as a brightly coloured path leading from the source.
4 Repair fluid leak and recheck to ensure that leak has been rectified.
5 Refer to the manufacturer’s directions when using this method.

3 Minor Service Operations
3.1 Safety Precautions
Observe the following precautions. Failure to observe these precautions will result in serious damage to the generator.
• Only use the generator and voltage regulator in a negative ground system.
• Always refer to 1.2 W ARNING, CAUTION and NOTES before disconnecting the battery.
• W hen installing a battery, fit the positive (+) cable to the battery before fitting the negative cable.
• W hen a slave battery is used for starting purposes, ensure that both batteries are connected in parallel. That is,
positive terminals connected and negative terminals connected.
• Only use jumper leads that have surge protection.
• Disconnect both battery cables when charging the battery. This isolates the generator from the battery and from
the external charging equipment.
• Do not operate the generator within an open circuit or without a battery in the circuit.
• Do not disconnect the battery while the generator is running.
• Do not attempt to polarise the generator.
• Do not connect generator connector E-4 pin 1 to 12 V (the battery or ignition circuits).
• Some battery powered timing lights can produce high transient voltages when connected or disconnected.
Only disconnect or connect timing lights when the engine is switched off.

Ensure the generator connector E-4 pin 1 has
a maximum sinking current of 50mA.
3.2 Maintenance
Regular Checks
Check the following at regular intervals:
• generator terminals – for corrosion and loose connections,
• wiring – for continuity and damaged insulation,
• mounting bolts – for tightness,
• drive belt – for alignment and wear, and
• drive pulley – for damage and warping.
NOTE
The drive-belt adjustment for the engine
ancillaries (i.e. generator and water pump) is
provided by a spring-loaded tensioner. Therefore,
the drive belt does not require manual
adjustment.
Lubrication
High tolerance bearings are used in this generator. If the bearings are removed during the generator disassembly, new
bearings must be installed to restore the generator to original specification. The ball bearings supporting the rotor shaft
are pre-lubricated and sealed. Do not attempt to lubricate these during servicing.
