Genuine Honda Timing Chain Tensioner. Over time the spring mechanism can loose tension causing the ecu to throw a light.

The timing chain tensioner is responsible for keeping the timing chained tensioned, which is to ensure that the timing chain does not skip or jump teeth on the camshaft or crankshaft gears.
Worn timing chain tensioners can cause chain and gear damage, as well as chain failure and any failure in the timing chain system can cause severe engine damage.
