What possible problems can be caused by a loose drive belt?

What will be an ideal response?


A loose drive belt can cause two problems. The obvious problem is a low charge rate. When the regulator energizes the field in the AC generator rotor, a load is put on the drive belt. If it is loose, it can slip and the charging system will not work to capacity. Another problem caused by a slipping belt is that it can heat up the rotor shaft and cause failure of the drive end bearing.
