Noise Sourse of Vehicle Equipment
Kind of noise
Whistling sound Equipment
Alternator Symptom of noise generation
Noise increases when accelerator pedal is
depressed and it subsides soon after engine
is stopped.
Scratching sound
Water temperature gauge unit Noise is produced while engine is running
and it persists for a while after engine
shutdown.
Fuel gauge unit Noise is produced at sudden acceleration,
driving on rough road or when ignition key is
placed to ON.
Jarring

and no noise is made when engine is idling.
Noise is produced with operation of turn
signal light
Noise is made when horn button is pressed
or released.

NOISE SWPRESSION N08NOAA
I. Noise interfering with radio reception may be roughly
classified as follows:
(1) Noise produced by the vehicle itself
Noise from the ignition circuit, alternator circuit, etc
(2) Noise generated in the radio itself
Thermal noise from transistors, IC, resistor, etc.
(3) Atmospheric noise
Noise from other cars, neon signs, etc.
2. The radio has devices to suppress noise of the radio itsel f
3. and atmospheric noise, but it is difficult to eliminate them
completely. Noise produced by the vehicle includes whin-
ing from the alternator system, and a strong, impulsive,
fast popping noise from the ignition system.
Before performing any checking or adjustments, first
confirm the following points.
Adjust the antenna trimmer completely.
Set the push buttons (tuning) properly.
Extend the antenna all the way.
PREVENTION OF IGNITION CIRCUIT NOISE
A resistance-equipped cable is used for the high-tension cable
in order to prevent noise; however, if any noise from the
ignition circuit does occur, check the tightness and ground
connection of the positive (+) terminal of the noise filter, and,
if necessary, check the noise filter.
Caution
Be careful not to connect the noise filter to the hightension
cable; doing so could damage the noise filter.
PREVENTION OF OTHER CIRCUIT NOISE
1. For other noises, take necessary corrective actions in
accordance with the following items and the NOISE
SUPPRESSION CHART.
2. Polish the grounding cable terminal, and connect it proper-
ly.
3. Polish the pillar antenna ground terminal, and connect it
properly.
4. Ground electric parts completely.
5. Keep the antenna cable and speaker lead wire away from
other electric wiring.

AIR-CONDITIONING -Service Adjustment Procedures 24-41
COMPRESSOR NOISE NWLM
When investigating an air conditioning related noise, you must first know the conditions when the noise occurs.
These conditions are: weather, vehicle speed, in gear or neutral, engine temperature or any other special
conditions.
Noises that develop during air- conditioning operation can often be misleading. For example: what sounds like a
failed front bearing or connecting rod, may be caused by loose bolts, nuts, mounting brackets, or a loose clutch
assembly. Verify accessory drive belt tension (power
steering, alternator or air pump). Improper accessory drive belt
tension can cause a misleading noise when the compressor is engaged and little or no noise when the compressor
is disengaged.
Drive belts are speed sensitive. That is, at different engine speeds, and depending upon belt tension, belts can
develop unusual noises that are often mistaken for mechanical problems within the compressor.
Adjustment Procedures
(1) Select a quiet area for testing. Duplicate conditions as much as possible. Switch compressor on and off several
times to clearly identify compressor noise.
To duplicate high ambient conditions (high head pressure), restrict air-flow through
condenser. Install
manifold gauge set to make sure discharge pressure does not exceed 2,070 kPa (300 psi).
(2) Tighten all compressor mounting bolts, clutch mounting bolt, and compressor drive belt. Check to assure clutch
coil is tight (no rotation or wobble).
(3) Check refrigerant hoses for rubbing or interference that can cause unusual noises.
(4) Check refrigerant charge (See “Charging the System”).
(5) Recheck compressor noise as in Step 1.
(6) If noise still exists, loosen compressor mounting bolts and retorque. Repeat Step 1.
(7) If noise continues, replace compressor and repeat Step 1.
