The primary function of the drive belt is to transfer power from the engine’s crankshaft to various accessories, enabling them to operate. For instance, when the engine runs, it rotates the crankshaft, which in turn causes the drive belt to spin. This motion activates the accessories connected to the belt. Unlike older cars that used several different belts to connect individual accessories, most modern vehicles utilize a single serpentine belt, which is more efficient and easier to replace.

A fan belt, often referred to as a serpentine belt, is a looped piece of rubber that drives multiple peripheral devices in an engine. Although they may vary in design and configuration between different makes and models of vehicles, the fundamental purpose remains the same. The fan belt connects the engine's crankshaft to various components such as the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, and sometimes the air conditioning compressor. This connection allows these components to function efficiently, ensuring your vehicle operates smoothly.
