Function
The belt tensioner is responsible for maintaining the correct tension of the serpentine or accessory drive belt during engine operation.
It uses an internal spring mechanism to automatically adjust belt tension as the belt stretches over time, ensuring continuous and stable contact between the belt and pulleys.
A properly functioning tensioner helps prevent belt slipping, excessive vibration, abnormal noise, and accessory drive failure.
