Easy fix for Squeaky / Squealing Belt

[Randy_84]

I also have a squealing in my 2010 yaris rs liftback. When i turn the air condition on it squeals for about 25 seconds then stops. If i driving with the a/c on and i have to stop, as I shift the gears down, the squeal returns. Even at times when drive to a spot and then put the car in reverse it squeals. The belt has been changed before, but it still kept the noise. I just want to know if the belt is tensioned, would that solve the problem.....any feedback?

Should have been re-tensioned the first time it squealed for 25 seconds. Or 3 seconds. And if that doesn't solve, then look for driven items seizing up...like A/C compressor. Does it chirp or squeal at startup w/ the A/C off?

The A/C compressor was change like a year ago. It chirps or squeals occasionally when at startup and when the A/C is turned on it chirps as well. There are times when i startup, leave the car running for 60 seconds and then turn the A/C on and I get no squeal. It is suppose to get look at within the coming weeks, so hopefully i would get the problem fixed.
