- Check the drive belt tension. (Refer to ON VEHICLE SERVICE .)
- Use a belt tension gauge in the middle of the belt between the pulleys (at the place indicated by the arrow) to measure that the belt tension is within the standard value.

- If not within the standard value, replace the auto-tensioner. (Refer to TIMING BELT .)
