0A-63 General Information:
Step
1. Install the J 38792-A sensor, if available, to the component
identified by the customer as most respondent to the
vibration. If no component was identified, install the J
38792-A sensor, if available, to the steering column. You
may have to move the sensor to other locations later.
2. Select a smooth, level road and slowly accelerate the
vehicle up to highway speed.
3. Observe the vehicle for disturbances that match the
customer's description and note the following conditions:
– The vehicle speed
14
– The engine RPM
– The transmission gear range and the specific gear
– The vibration frequency reading, if detected by the J
38792-A
– The feel and/or sound of the disturbance
4. If the vibration seems to excite a particular component of
the vehicle more than the steering column, then move the
J 38792-A sensor, if available, onto that component and
repeat steps 2 and 3.
Were you able to duplicate the customer's concern?
Is the vehicle equipped with selectable four-wheel or all-wheel
15
drive?
1. With the J 38792-A sensor still installed in the same
position, activate/engage all-wheel drive.
2. Select a smooth, level road and slowly accelerate the
vehicle up to highway speed.
3. Observe the vehicle for disturbances that match the
customer's description and note the following conditions:
– The vehicle speed
– The engine RPM
16
– The transmission gear range and the specific gear
– The vibration frequency reading, if detected by the J
38792-A
– The feel and/or sound of the disturbance
4. If the vibration seems to excite a particular component of
the vehicle more than the steering column, then move the
J 38792-A sensor, if available, onto that component and
repeat steps 2 and 3.
Were you able to duplicate the customer's concern?
1. Accelerate the vehicle to a speed higher than the speed at
which the disturbance occurs.
NOTE
If the vehicle is equipped with a continuously
variable type automatic transmission, let the
17
vehicle coast to a stop before shifting back into
gear.
2. Shift the vehicle into NEUTRAL and allow the vehicle to
coast down through the disturbance range.
Does the disturbance still occur while coasting-down in
NEUTRAL?
