Don't panic just yet; if the values are steady (not swinging back and forth and idle), it is probably just wear on one of the tensioners, chain paddles, or a VarioCam unit. These are problems that can be addressed when time and funds permit.

If the deviation values are swinging wildly, shut the car off and call the flatbed.....
