When a serpentine belt is loose it means either the belt has stretched and needs replacing, or the idler tensioner is defective and needs replacing, or both.

Your belt is probably stretched or the tensioner is weak. Try a new belt, or replacing the tensioner. If it is still loose get a 1/2 inch smaller belt.

How do you tighten the serpentine belt on a 1994 Jeep Cherokee with a 4-cylinder engine?

You can't tighten a serpentine belt. The auto tensioner keeps the proper tension on the belt. If the belt is loose, it has stretched and needs replacing or the tensioner spring is weak or broken and the tensioner needs replacing, or both. . . INCORRECT. . . On the earlier serpentine belts they were tightened much like the old V Belts. For the 1992-1995 Jeep Cherokee you need to loosen the front two "holding" bolts and the rear two or three "holding" bolts on the power steering pump. Then you loosen and or tighten the bolt that is under the powersteering pump, facing toward the outside of the motor. it is almost hidden on the L6 models. That is the way it is done on these vehicles.
