Great video. Did disconnecting the battery clear the codes? Because that's what I got from what you said. But then you said that you cleared the codes and disconnected the battery afterwards. I'm on my way to do this exact job as the belt broke on a trip at 150000 kms.

I did use a code reader to look at the codes, cleared the codes, and also unhooked the battery. I unhooked the battery mostly to not get shocked while working on the belt job. Safety first.

@jeffylube31 I was able to change both belts. There's just enough room for a 21 socket Wrench to turn the engine. Disconnected the battery while working, and there were no warning lights afterwards. My car didn't go into limp mode either when this happened. I'm very grateful for your video, as it prepared me well for doing this job. Thanks again!

​@@tjacobsen5131my wife drove 30 miles on just the battery. So the AC wouldn't engage until after resetting code and battery. Glad the video helped. I made the video since there were how to videos.

@@jeffylube31 We had to abandon the car because it was in the middle of the night and the lights went out. I could've coped without the electric servo, but the lights I needed.

I literally have 0 idea what you're doing because I cant see anything.

It's hard to get a video of what happens with the tensioner. There isn't a good way to get a camera in there. But appreciate the feedback.
