Abstract:
An embodiment contemplates a method for determining belt slip in a vehicle. The vehicle includes an engine and an alternator rotatably coupled by an accessory drive belt. The accessory drive belt engaging a rotating member of the engine for driving a rotating member of the alternator. A battery voltage is measured. An estimated battery voltage is determined as a function of engine speed. The belt slip of the alternator is detected in response to a comparison of the estimated battery voltage and the measured battery voltage.
