Installation 1. Place auto-tensioner in soft-jawed vise to SLOWLY compress the push rod. If
there is a plug at the base of the auto-tensioner body, place flat washer around
plug so it will not contact vise jaw.
2. Slowly compress auto-tensioner push rod until holes in push rod and auto-
tensioner housing are aligned. Insert a locking pin into the alignment holes.
Install auto-tensioner on engine.
3. Ensure all timing marks are still aligned. See Fig. 3
. Install timing belt on
crankshaft sprocket, idler pulley, left bank camshaft sprocket, water pump
pulley, right bank camshaft sprocket, and tensioner pulley. Take all slack out o
f
timing belt.
4. Loosen the tensioner pulley center bolt. Rotate tensioner pulley against timing
belt. Temporarily tighten tensioner pulley center bolt. Turn crankshaft 1/4 turn
counterclockwise. Turn crankshaft 1/4 turn clockwise. Ensure all timing belt
marks are still aligned.
5. Loosen tensioner pulley center bolt. Position tensioner pin holes at bottom of
tensioner. Install Adapter (MD998767) on tensioner pulley. See Fig. 5
. Using
torque wrench, apply 39 INCH lbs. (4.4 N.m) of torque (counterclockwise
direction) to tensioner pulley. Tighten tensioner center bolt to specification
while holding tensioner pulley stationary. See TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS
.
6. Remove locking pin from auto-tensioner. Turn crankshaft 2 revolutions
clockwise and align all timing marks. DO NOT rotate counterclockwise.
7. Wait for at least 5 minutes, then check auto-tensioner push rod protrusion. To
check push rod protrusion, measure clearance between body of auto-tensioner
and bottom of tensioner pulley bracket arm. Clearance should be 0.19-
0.24" (4.8-6.0 mm). If protrusion is not correct, repeat timing belt tensioning
procedure. CAUTION: Never compress the auto-tensioner too fast, or
the push rod will be damaged.

8. Install timing belt covers. Install crankshaft pulley. Using Pulley Holder
(MB991800) and Pins "B" (MB001802), tighten crankshaft pulley bolt to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
. To complete installation,
reverse removal procedure.

Traction Control System (TCL) - Endeavor
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The traction control system (TCL) controls engine output to prevent the wheel spin
of the drive wheels (front wheels) for improved stability.
The TCL system is available as individual optional equipment for FWD and as set
optional equipment with ASC for AWD. For the details about the ASC, refer to
TRACTION CONTROL/ACTIVE SKID

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL) DIAGNOSIS INTRODUCTION TO TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL) DIAGNOSIS TCL DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DETECTION CONDITIONS TCL diagnostic trouble codes (TCL DTCs) are set under different conditions,
depending on the malfunction detected. Most TCL DTCs will only be set during
vehicle operation. Some TCL DTCs will also be set during the TCL self-check
immediately after the engine is started. When you check if an TCL DTC will be
displayed again after the DTC has been erased, you should recreate the TCL DTC
set conditions. Depending on the detection timing and set conditions for the specific
TCL DTC, you must either drive the vehicle or turn the engine off and restart it. To
set the proper conditions for that DTC again, refer to "TCL DTC SET
CONDITIONS" for each TCL DTC that you are trying to reset. TCL DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If you follow them carefully, you
will check most of the possible causes of a TCL problem.
1. Gather information from the customer.
2. Verify that the condition described by the customer exists.
3. Check the vehicle for any TCL DTC.
4. If you can verify the condition but no TCL DTCs are set, and the malfunction
may be intermittent. Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT
MALFUNCTIONS
5. If you can verify the condition but there is no TCL DTCs, or the system cannot
communicate with scan tool MB991958 (MUT-III sub assembly), refer to
SYMPTOM CHART , and find the fault.
6. If there is a TCL DTC, record the number of the code, then erase the code from
vehicle memory using scan tool MB991958 (MUT-III sub assembly).
7. Re-create the TCL DTC set conditions to see if the same TCL DTC will set
again.
If the same TCL DTC sets again, perform the diagnostic procedures for
the set code. Refer to TCL DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
