- Inspection Regularly check for signs of wear, such as cracks, fraying, or glazing on the belt surface. Early detection of issues can prevent more significant problems down the line.
4. Poor Accessory Performance If accessories powered by the serpentine belt, such as the alternator or power steering pump, are not functioning correctly, it may be due to insufficient belt tension.
- Reduced Performance If machinery is not operating as efficiently as before, a worn belt may be the culprits.
