This diagram shows the path that the serpentine belt follows around the various pulleys and components in the engine bay. The belt is tensioned by the automatic tensioner, which is located near the top of the engine.
To replace the serpentine belt, you will need to:
1. Remove the negative battery cable.
2. Loosen the idler pulley bolt.
3. Remove the old serpentine belt.
4. Install the new serpentine belt.
5. Tighten the idler pulley bolt.
6. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
It is important to follow the correct routing diagram when installing a new serpentine belt, as an incorrect routing could cause damage to the engine. If you are not comfortable performing this task yourself, you can have it done by a qualified mechanic.
