2006 Scion xB Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the drive belt on 2006 Scion xB?

  A: The procedure to fix the drive belt begins with unfastening bolts A and B followed by lowering the belt tension to extract the generator V belt. You should start by taking off the engine under cover RH then proceed to unfasten bolts A and B to release the vane pump V belt tension before removing it. Installation begins with placing the vane pump V belt between the pulleys and afterward installing the generator V belt in the same way. The generator V belt adjustment requires the use of the adjusting bar (Special Service Tool: 09930-00010) which should be inserted between the engine RH mount bracket and generator while pushing the bar forward for belt tension adjustment but the bar must not be placed between the oil control valve and generator to prevent damage. Begin by tightening bolt A to 18.5 Nm (189 kgf-cm, 14 ft. lbs.) and then move forward to bolt B for tightening to 54 Nm (550 kgf-cm, 40 ft. lbs.). Use the special service tool 09930-00010 to adjust vane pump V belt tension through bolt B first and then bolt A until reaching 44 Nm (449 kgf-cm, 33 ft. lbs.). Conclude the procedure by examining the drive belt tension then reinstalling the RH under engine cover.
