- Original concern and conditions
- Failure and repair timeline
- Failed and replacement part details
- Diagnostic evidence
- Related-system checks

You note occasional belt noise before the warning, belt dust near the tensioner, visible tensioner movement, acceptable battery test results, completed cable voltage-drop tests, and no confirmed connector damage. You provide current service procedures, both part numbers, installation records, scan data, loaded charging measurements, and cold-start results. You note that the longest hot-soak condition hasn't been reproduced.
