It cannot be timing. Timing is performed by the timing chain. You only touched an accessories belt part. Look into loose connectors.

Just looked at TIS. The only thing it mentions is to observe the direction of travel of the belt if reuse.
It does not mention locking any accessories or pulleys in place while replacing the belt. I believe something else is happening in your case.

Also look into Removing and installing/replacing hydraulic valve (N55). This was under the acc belt repair replace section on TIS

Today I changed Chain tensioner as preventative maintenance, but soon I start the car, I got Drivetrain Malfunction. When I read the code through ISTA,

these codes are

code:131501 VANOS, intake, cold start: not controllable
code:131401 VANOS, exhaust, cold start: not controllable
code:130104 VANOS, intake, control fault, camshaft jammed

based on codes, I believed that timing is incorrect/out. Need to do timing, if it's timing than does anyone know do I have to remove oil pan/ remove the subframe as well or just fix this by opening the engine valve cover and use the chain time tool?



or plz guide me in the right direction if it relates to something else, as I only replaced the chain tensioner only follow this instruction https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...shaft/HtiBPV3K


I also find this SIB https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/20...53485-8362.pdf based on that its just the DME software update. Not sure what to do.
