Toyota Belts
Toyota Owner's Guide to Automotive Belts
The Different Kinds of Toyota Belts And What They Do
There are three types of automotive belts for Toyota or Scion vehicles. The timing belt is a notched belt that helps the crankshaft turn the camshaft. If you drive a recent vintage model, it may have a more durable timing chain instead. The timing belt turns the two shafts in rhythm with each other and helps to keep parts from hitting one another. If your timing belt were to fail, your engine would stop running at once.
The other two types of belts are serpentine belts and drive belts. Serpentine belts work with the crank pulley, idler pulley, and tensioner to run parts like the power steering and alternator. Drive belts are driven by the crank pulley and help operate your water pump, radiator fan, and more. If either of these belts break, you'll have a small period of time where you can fix the problem before things leave you stranded.
How to Spot Problems With Your Belts
Even the best belts can eventually fail, whether due to excessive stress or age. Signs of this include:
- Cracks in the belt
- Fraying edges
- Looseness or sagging
- Overly tight belts
