Profile Test
- Use the tooth edge of the tool
- Press the teeth of the gauge into the belt grooves
- The teeth should fit snugly into each groove. If not, the belt may need to be replaced
* This test result does not replace a professional diagnosis
Caution: Before working on a vehicle, turn off the engine. Consult the vehicle's Owners Manual for recommended belt replacement intervals.
