1 Camshaft Timing Chain
DOUBLE VAMOS SYSTEM
(M52 TU AND M54 ENGINES)
Double VANOS system function
The M52TU and M54 6-cylinder engines are equipped with a
Double VANOS system that varies intake and exhaust cam-
shaft timing.
The main components of the Double VANOS system are:
lntalte and exhaust camshafts with helical spline inserts.
Camshaft sprockets with adjustable gears.
VANOS actuators (two position piston housing with
inter-
nallexternal helical spline cup).
Three-way solenoid switching valves.
Camshaft position impulse wheels.
Hall effect camshaft position sensors.
Camshaft position
IS varied based on engine rpm, throttle po-
sition signal, intake air and coolant temperature.

Charging system quick-check
Use a digital multimeter to measure voltage across the bat-
tery terminals with key off and then again with engine running.
Battery voltage should be about 12.6 volts with key off and be-
tween 13.5 and 14.5 volts with engine running.
NOTE-
The regulated voltage (engine running) should be between
13.2 and 14.5, depending on temperature andoperating con-
ditions.
If the voltage is higher than 14.8, the voltage regula-
tor or
mulitfunction controller is most likely faulty
Check for clean and tight battery cables. Check ground cable
running from negative
(-) battery terminal to chassis and
ground cable running from engine to chassis. Check alterna-
tor drive belt condition and tension.

* Do not disconnect the battery while the engine is running.
Damage to the alternator and/or engine electronic systems
may result.
Only use a digital multimeter when testing charging
system components.

NOTE-
If the warning light does not come on, repair bulb or wiring
faults before continuing to checlc the charging system.

- Check for battery voltage at terminal 50 of starter motor with
key in start position. If voltage is not present, check wiring be-
tween ignition switch and starter terminal. Check the EWS
system and other inputs that disrupt terminal
56 to the start-
er. See ELE Electrical
Wiring Diagrams. If voltage is
present and no other visible wiring faults can be found, prob-
lem is most likely in starter motor.
Starter, removing and installing
(6-cylinder engine)
The starter is removed from below. Access to starter bolts is
difficult. Be sure to have the proper tools on hand before pro-
ceeding.
NOTE-
Access to the starter wiring is very limited. Forbetteraccess,
it may be necessary to remove the intake manifold.
- Disconnect negative (-) battery cable.
