INSPECTION OF TIMING BELT

COMPONENTS
1. INSPECT TIMING BELT

• Do not bend, twist or turn the timing belt inside out.
• Do not allow the timing belt to come into contact
with oil, water or steam.
• Do not utilize timing belt tension when installing or
removing the mounting bolt of the camshaft timing
pulley.
If there are any defects as shown in the illustrations,
check the following points:
(a) Premature parting
• Check the proper installation.

proper installation.

(b) If the belt teeth are cracked or damaged, check to

see if either camshaft or water pump is locked.
EM–74
ENGINE MECHANICAL – Timing Belt (5S–FE)

(c) If there is noticeable wear or cracks on the belt face,

check to see if there are nicks on the side of the idler
pulley lock.

(d) If there is wear or damage on only one side of the

belt, check the belt guide and the alignment of each
pulley.

(e) If there is noticeable wear on the belt teeth, check

the timing cover for damage, correct gasket installa-
tion, and the foreign material on the pulley teeth.
If necessary, replace the timing belt.

2. INSPECT IDLER PULLEYS

Check that the idler pulley turns smoothly.

3. INSPECT TENSION SPRING

Free length: 46.0 mm (1.811 in.)
If the free length is not as specified, replace the tension
spring.

specified installed length.
Installed tension:
32 – 37 N (3.25 – 3.75 kgf, 7.2 – 8.3 lbf)
at 50.5 mm (1.988 in.)
