A timing chain tensioner takes up slack in the chain, helping it stay engaged on its sprockets so the camshaft and crankshaft stay in step. Chain rattle at startup, noise from the timing area or timing-related fault codes may be signs this part needs replacing. Other components can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing, and follow the vehicle service information for timing alignment during installation.
