The Secondary Timing Chain is a component of the engine's valve train system that controls the timing of the engine's camshafts. It is typically made of metal and is designed to last the life of the engine. However, there are some situations in which the secondary timing chain may need to be replaced.

Here are some signs that the secondary timing chain may need to be replaced:

• Engine noise: A worn or damaged secondary timing chain can cause a rattling or clattering noise from the engine, especially at idle or under light acceleration.
• Reduced engine power: If the secondary timing chain becomes worn or damaged, it can cause the engine to lose power, especially at higher RPMs.
• Check engine light: A malfunctioning secondary timing chain can trigger the engine's check engine light.
• Metal shavings in the oil: If the secondary timing chain becomes severely worn or damaged, it can cause metal shavings to appear in the engine oil.
