I can't make sense of the fault code, hmm...
Good luck/Bill
Not sure why the tensioner pulley would be the problem since the tensioner pulley is in use whether the A/C is on or off and the OP said is only make sthe noise when the A/C is on?


I'd use a stethoscope and listen to the compressor since it only spins when the A/C is on and the clutch area may be making the noise?
