A squeal can come from a tensioner, pulley, or accessory rather than the belt alone. A broken belt may disable charging or cooling; stop safely if warning lights or overheating appear.
What a mechanic checks
- Inspect belt wear and routing
- Check tensioner, pulleys, and driven accessories
- Identify leaks or alignment issues affecting the belt
