This visual representation illustrates the routing of the serpentine belt within the 2007 Toyota Camry equipped with a 2.4-liter engine. It details the path the belt takes around various engine components, including the alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, and crankshaft pulley. The diagram typically indicates the direction of belt travel, the location of tensioners or idler pulleys, and the correct belt size.
Accurate belt routing is critical for the proper functioning of numerous vehicle systems. Incorrect installation can lead to component failure, reduced engine performance, and potential damage. Historically, these diagrams were often found on a sticker under the hood or in the vehicle’s repair manual. They serve as a vital reference tool for mechanics and individuals performing maintenance or repairs.
