What is the Serpentine Belt?
The flat serpentine belt drives the crankshaft pulley. This makes it essential for running all of the vehicle's accessories. It operates in coordination with the alternator, air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, and both water and air pumps. A tensioner, either hydraulic or spring-loaded, keeps the belt's tension ideal.
