11-12 TROUBLESHOOTING
8. Brake pedal goes to floor when pressed and will not pump up
a. Check the brake hydraulic fluid level and inspect the fluid lines and seals for leakage.
Repair or replace leaking components, then bleed and flush the brake system using
fresh brake fluid that meets the manufacturer’s recommended standards.
b. Check the brake fluid level. Inspect the brake fluid level and brake hydraulic seals. If
the fluid level is ok, and the brake hydraulic system is free of hydraulic leaks, replace
the brake master cylinder, then bleed and flush the brake system using fresh brake
fluid that meets the manufacturer’s recommended standards.
9. Brakes produce a burning odor
a. Check for a seizing brake hydraulic component such as a brake caliper. Check the
caliper piston for surface damage such as rust, and measure for out-of-round wear
and caliper-to-piston clearance. Overhaul or replace failed parts and flush the brake
system.
b. Check for an internally restricted flexible brake hydraulic hose. Replace the hose and
flush the brake system.
c. Check the parking brake release mechanism, seized linkage or cable, and repair as
necessary. BRAKE PERFORMANCE TROU5LESHOOTINc; HIIVTS Brake vibrations or pulsation can often be diagnosed on a safe and careful test drive.
A brake vibration which is felt through the brake pedal while braking, but not felt in the
steering wheel, is most likely caused by brake surface variations in the rear brakes. If
both the brake pedal and steering wheel vibrate during braking, a surface variation in the
front brakes, or both front and rear brakes, is very likely.
A brake pedal that pumps up with repeated use can be caused by air in the brake hy-
draulic system or, if the vehicle is equipped with rear drum brakes, the brake adjusters
may be seized or out of adjustment. A quick test for brake adjustment on vehicles with
rear drum brakes is to pump the brake pedal several times with the vehicle’s engine not
running and the parking brake released. Pump the brake pedal several times and con-
tinue to apply pressure to the brake pedal. With pressure being applied to the brake
pedal, engage the parking brake. Release the brake pedal and quickly press the brake
pedal again. If the brake pedal pumped up, the rear brakes are in need of adjustment. Do
not compensate for the rear brake adjustment by adjusting the parking brake, this will
cause premature brake lining wear.
To test a vacuum brake booster, pump the brake pedal several times with the vehicle’s
engine off. Apply pressure to the brake pedal and then start the engine. The brake pedal
should move downward about one inch (25mm).
1. Tires worn on inside tread
a. Check alignment for a toed-out condition. Check and set tire pressures and properly
adjust the toe.
b. Check for worn, damaged or defective suspension components. Replace defective
parts and adjust the alignment.
2. Tires worn on outside tread e
a. Check alignment for a toed-in condition. Check and set tire pressures and properly
adjust the toe.
b. Check for worn, damaged or defective suspension components. Replace defective
parts and adjust the alignment.
3. Tires worn unevenly
a. Check the tire pressure and tire balance. Replace worn or defective tires and check the
.
alignment; adjust if necessary. b. Check for worn shock absorbers. Replaced failed components, worn or defective tires
and check the alignment; adjust if necessary.
c. Check the alignment settings. Check and set tire pressures and properly adjust the
alignment to specification.
d. Check for worn, damaged or defective suspension components. Replace defective

1. Excessive play in steering wheel
a. Check the steering gear free-play adjustment and properly adjust to remove excessive
play.
b. Check the steering linkage for worn, damaged or defective parts. Replace failed com-
ponents and perform a front end alignment.
c. Check for a worn, damaged, or defective steering box, replace the steering gear and
check the front end alignment.
2. Steering wheel shakes at cruising speeds
a. Check for a bent front wheel. Replace a damaged wheel and check the tire for possible
internal damage.
b. Check for an unevenly worn front tire. Replace the tire, adjust tire pressure and bal-
ance.
c. Check the front tires for hidden internal damage. Tires which have encountered large
pot holes or suffered other hard blows may have sustained internal damage and
should be replaced immediately.
d. Check the front tires for an out-of-balance condition. Remove, spin balance and rein-
stall. Torque all the wheel bolts or lug nuts to the recommended specification.
e. Check for a loose wheel bearing. If possible, adjust the bearing, or replace the bearing
if it is a non-adjustable bearing.
3. Steering wheel shakes when braking
a. Refer to section 3-A, condition number 1.
4. Steering wheel becomes stiff when turned

needed alignment.
b. Check for seized shock absorbers or strut assemblies and replace as necessary.
c. Check for worn or leaking shock absorbers or strut assemblies and replace as neces-
sary.
Noises 1. Vehicle makes a clicking noises when driven
a. Check the noise to see if it varies with road speed. Verify if the noise is present when
coasting or with steering or throttle input. If the clicking noise frequency changes with
road speed and is not affected by steering or throttle input, check the tire treads for a
stone, piece of glass, nail or another hard object imbedded into the tire or tire tread.
Stones rarely cause a tire puncture and are easily removed. Other objects may create
an air leak when removed. Consider having these objects removed immediately at a
facility equipped to repair tire punctures.
b. If the clicking noise varies with throttle input and steering, check for a worn Constant
Velocity (CV-joint) joint, universal (U- joint) or flex joint.
2. Vehicle makes a clunking or knocking noise over bumps
a. A clunking noise over bumps is most often caused by excessive movement or clear-
ance in a suspension component. Check the suspension for soft, cracked, damaged or
worn bushings. Replace the bushings and check the vehicle’s alignment.
b. Check for loose suspension mounting bolts. Check the tightness on subframe bolts,
pivot bolts and suspension mounting bolts, and torque to specification.
c. Check the vehicle for a loose wheel bearing. Some wheel bearings can be adjusted for
looseness, while others must be replaced if loose. Adjust or replace the bearings as
recommended by the manufacturer.
d. Check the door latch adjustment. If the door is slightly loose, or the latch adjustment
is not centered, the door assembly may create noises over bumps and rough surfaces.
Properly adjust the door latches to secure the door. 3. Vehicle makes a low pitched rumbling noise when driven
a. A low pitched rumbling noise is usually caused by a drive train related bearing and is
most often associated with a wheel bearing which has been damaged or worn. The
damage can be caused by excessive brake temperatures or physical contact with a pot
hole or curb. Sometimes the noise will vary when turning. Left hand turns increase the
load on the vehicle’s right side, and right turns load the left side. A failed front wheel
bearing may also cause a slight steering wheel vibration when turning. A bearing
which exhibits noise must be replaced.
b. Check the tire condition and balance. An internally damaged tire may cause failure
symptoms similar to failed suspension parts. For diagnostic purposes, try a known
good set of tires and replace defective tires.
4. Vehicle makes a squeaking noise over bumps
a. Check the vehicle’s ball joints for wear, damaged or leaking boots. Replace a ball joint
if it is loose, the boot is damaged and leaking, or the ball joint is binding. When re-
placing suspension parts, check the vehicle for alignment.
b. Check for seized or deteriorated bushings. Replace bushings that are worn or dam-
aged and check the vehicle for alignment.
c. Check for the presence of sway bar or stabilizer bar bushings which wrap around the
bar. Inspect the condition of the bushings and replace if worn or damaged. Remove
the bushing bracket and apply a thin layer of suspension grease to the area where the
bushings wrap around the bar and reinstall the bushing brackets. ~
5. Vehicle vibrates when driven
a. Check the road surface. Roads which have rough or uneven surfaces may cause un-
usual vi brations.
b. Check the tire condition and balance. An internally damaged tire may cause failure
symptoms similar to failed suspension parts. For diagnostic purposes, try a known
good set of tires and replace defective tires immediately.
c. Check for a worn Constant Velocity (CV-joint) joint, universal (U- joint) or flex joint
and replace if loose, damaged or binding.
d. Check for a loose, bent, or out-of-balance axle or drive shaft. Replace damaged or
failed components.
NOTE: Diagnosing failures related to wheels, tires, steering and the sus-
pension system can often times be accomplished with a careful and thor-
ough test drive. Bearing noises are isolated by noting whether the noises
or symptoms vary when turning left or right, or occur while driving a
straight line. During a teft hand turn, the vehicle’s weight shifts to the
right, placing more force on the right side bearings, such that if a right side
wheel bearing is worn or damaged, the noise or vibration should increase
during light-to-heavy acceleration. Conversely, on right hand turns, the ve-
hicle tends to lean to the left, loading the left side bearings.
Knocking noises in the suspension when the vehicle is driven over rough roads, rail-
road tracks and speed bumps indicate worn suspension components such as bushings,
ball joints or tie rod ends, or a worn steering system.
1. One headlight only works on high or low beam
a. Check for battery voltage at headlight electrical connector. If battery voltage is present,
replace the headlight assembly or bulb if available separately. If battery voltage is not
present, refer to the headlight wiring diagram to troubleshoot.
2. Headlight does not work on high or low beam
a. Check for battery voltage and ground at headlight electrical connector. If battery volt-
age is present, check the headlight connector ground terminal for a proper ground. If
battery voltage and ground are present at the headlight connector, replace the head-
light assembly or bulb if available separately. If battery voltage or ground is not pre-
sent, refer to the headlight wiring diagram to troubleshoot.
b. Check the headlight switch operation. Replace the switch if the switch is defective or
ooerates intermittentlv. 1. Tail light, running light or side marker light inoperative
a. Check for battery voltage and ground at light’s electrical connector. If battery voltage is
present, check the bulb socket and electrical connector ground terminal for a proper
ground. If battery voltage and ground are present at the light connector, but not in the
socket, clean the socket and the ground terminal connector. If battery voltage and
ground are present in the bulb socket, replace the bulb. If battery voltage or ground is
not present, refer to the wiring diagram to troubleshoot for an open circuit.
b. Check the light switch operation and replace if necessary.
2. Tall light, running light or side marker light works intermittently
a. Check the bulb for a damaged filament, and replace if damaged.
b. Check the bulb and bulb socket for corrosion, and clean or replace the bulb and
socket.
w 3. Headlight(s) very dim
a. Check for battery voltage and ground at headlight electrical connector. If battery volt-
age is present, trace the ground circuit for the headlamp electrical connector, then
clean and repair as necessary. If the voltage at the headlight electrical connector is
significantly less than the voltage at the battery, refer to the headlight wiring diagram
to troubleshoot and locate the voltage drop. c. Check for loose, damaged or corroded wires and electrical terminals, and repair as
necessary.
d. Check the light switch operation and replace if necessary.
3. Tail light, running light or side marker light very dim
