The serpentine belt drives multiple engine components, including the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, and air conditioning compressor. Over time, the serpentine belt can become worn, cracked, or frayed, leading to reduced functionality of these components and potential engine overheating. Regularly inspect the serpentine belt for signs of wear or damage, such as cracks, fraying, or glazing, and replace it according to your vehicle’s maintenance schedule, typically every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Maintaining a healthy serpentine belt ensures that all driven components operate smoothly, prevents unexpected breakdowns, and maintains overall engine performance and reliability.
