By "electrical problems", they mean a charging issue, not sensors failing. That would be a true statement. I think you may have misunderstood them. A sliping belt will not cause a map sensor to fail etc.

Check the tension of the belt and like i said before the charging system functionality. If you smell burning rubber you may have a bad bearing in one of the components on the belt (eg altenator, power steering, tensioner), that is causing it to bind up and the belt is slipping over it. That will cause noise, burning and eventually belt failure. To test, remove the belt and inspect all pullyes.
