No, the only way would be if the belt wasn't driving the alternator causing low voltages to the electronic transmission.

Will a weak battery cause new serpentine belt to squeak?

No, the battery has nothing whatsoever to do with the belt other than the belt is driving the alternator which recharges the battery. The alternator is working hard to recharge a weak battery. If the belt is squealing then the belt is either worn out or it is loose. If it is loose it is because the tensioner is defective and not holding the proper tension.


How do you adjust the tension on a serpentine belt on a Pontiac Grand Am?

The belt tension should adjust automatically. There's a thing called a belt tensioner that has a strong spring in it (you can't see the spring) that keeps pressure applied to the belt. This belt tensioner is what makes the serpentine belt so hard to remove. Many times the tensioner is in a difficult place access.

How hard is it to replace a serpentine belt on a ford explorer?

It's not hard at all. All serpentine operate in a similar way. You will need to use the diagram on your truck to figure out which of the pulleys is the tensioner. Then simply loosen the tension on the belt with a wrench or socket driver and remove the belt. Then repeat the process of loosening the tensioner to install the new one. Just make sure that you run the belt around the pulleys in the proper way by following the diagram.
