Component Tests
Accessory Drive Belt Tensioner - Static
Check
The accessory drive belt tensioner may be checked
statically as follows:
1. Inspect the area surrounding the accessorydrive belt tensioner for lubricant or other
contamination. Rectify any leaks before
installing a new accessory drive belt tensioner.
If the accessory drive belt tensioner is
contaminated, do not attempt to clean it as the
damping mechanism inside may be damaged.
INSTALL a new accessory drive belt tensioner
as necessary.

(147kW/200PS) - VI5, Removal and

REFER to:

Belt Tensioner (303-05 Accessory Drive - 2.5L
Duratec (147kW/200PS) - VI5, Removal and
Installation).
TEST the system for normal operation.
2. Detach the accessory drive belt in the area of the accessory drive belt tensioner.
3. NOTE: The accessory drive belt tensioner has a damping feature, which is usually a
friction device, therefore some friction within
the system is normal.
Using the correct tool, move the accessory drive
belt tensioner from its relaxed position through
its full stroke and back to the relaxed position
to make sure there is no excessive stick, grab
or bind, and to make sure there is tension on
the accessory drive belt tensioner spring.
4. Rotate the accessory drive belt tensioner pulley and check for damage, freedom of rotation and

System Operation
Smart Start
The PCM enables the starting process when a key
providing a valid code is read via the PATS. This
code is then verified in the GEM and compared
with the saved code. If this code is recognized as
correct, synchronization with other modules is
carried out. After successful synchronization, the
engine is cleared to start in the PCM. The PCM
connects earth to the starter relay, which then
connects power to the starter solenoid. As soon
as the engine reaches a certain speed, the PCM
disconnects the starter relay and so turns off the
starter. This protects the starter.
If the engine does not turn or turns only slowly, the
starting process is aborted by the PCM.
The starter is notactivated if:
• the engine is running (i.e. the engine speed is above a particular value),
• the PATS does not permit the engine to be started,
• the clutch pedal is not operated (vehicles with manual transmission),
• the gear selector level is not set to P or N (vehicles with automatic transmission),
• the brake pedal is not operated (vehicles with automatic transmission).
Emergency starting function
If the keyless vehicle system is unable to recognize
the passive key, the vehicle can be started via the
emergency starting function. In this case, there is a passive key mount on the
steering wheel. A PATS transmission/reception
unit is attached to this.
To start the engine, the passive key must be
inserted into the passive key mount. The Start/Stop
button can then be used to turn on the ignition and
start the engine as normal. To deactivate the
PATS, a transponder is fitted in the passive key,
which is read by the transmission/reception unit.
