To change the serpentine belt on a 2002 Jeep Cherokee, first, locate the belt routing diagram, usually found on a sticker under the hood. Use a wrench or a ratchet to relieve tension on the serpentine belt tensioner, then remove the old belt from the pulleys. Install the new belt according to the routing diagram, ensuring it sits properly on all pulleys. Finally, recheck the belt's alignment and tension before starting the engine.
