A serpentine belt is an accessory drive belt, with small multiple v-ribs, routed around most or all of the engine-powered accessories such as the alternator, A/C compressor and power steering pump. Usually both the front and the back side of the belt come into contact with various pulleys. The belt tension is controlled by an idler pulley with a spring inside. This eliminates the need for periodic adjustment.
