Good morning! I am enclosing a serpentine belt routing diagram to aid in the installation of your serpentine belt. There are 4 different engine possibilities but i have enclosed all. The serpentine belt tensioner is released by rotating in a clockwise direction as shown in the diagrams. Engine configuration will determine what tools you need but the installation is relatively easy to do. Have a great day!

Let me know if this helped, or if you have additional information or questions. Feel free to contact me at FixYa.com!

eatx stands for electronic automatic transmission controller
the eatx relay provides power for the controller and the backup eatx relay is for the backup lights

There is an (auto shut down relay) located on the van in the fuse/relay panel under the hood. It controls the fire to the coil,fuel injectors alternator. (never ever heard of a (eatx relay)??? Or a (eatx backup relay)??? Hope this will help you.

The first thing you should do is verify if the problem is with the vehicle or the code reader. Try another code reader to see if it also will not communicate. If non-communications persist then do this:

Check for a blown 10 Amp fuse in cavity 11 of the junction block
Check the 40 Amp fuse located in cavity 5 of the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
Check the case ground attached to the rear of the radio
Check the 10 Amp Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse located in cavity 10 of the Power Distribution Center (PDC)

If this all checks out good, then you will have to verify all power and ground circuits AT the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connector and verify continuity on the wires between the data link connector and the PCM. If it comes down to this, post a reply to this solution and let me know. I can provide step-by-step instructions and wiring diagrams necessary to accomplish this.

Hi Mel, I'm glad to help! The most problems we have found here at the dealership is vacuum problem. Check the vacuum line going to the cruise control unit under the hood. Start the engine and let it idle. Next unhook the vacuum line at the unit and place your finger over the hose to see if you feel vacuum. If you don't the find the crack or where you have lost the vacuum. If it does have vacuum. Then you'll need to see if you have power to the Unit under the hood. Remove the connector and check for power, If you have no Power then replace the brake lamp switch. If you do have power then its a possibility the PCM is seeing something it doesn't like and is not providing ground to the unit or the PCM may be the problem. CAUTION: Do Not replace the PCM unless all other possibilities have been checked and repaired first. Note: Again vacuum problem or the most we have found to be the problem. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Mel.
