11.4 DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
' 11.4.1 Tire Wear
Tires should be inspected as abnormal or excessive wear may becaused by incorrect wheel alignment, wheelbire im- balance, or incorrect tire pressure.
1 1.4.2 vibration and Roughness
Vibration, roughness, and shimmy conditions may be caused by excessive tire or wheel runout, worn or cupped tires,
or wheel and tire unbalance.
Most of these conditions are due to irregularities in the road surface, hence driving the vehicle on different types of
road surface will often indicate the cause of the condition.
Do not automatically suspect the tires when attempting to diagnose a vibration concern as other sources of vibration
Before investigating any other vibration concerns,
a roaG &est and a customer inter\,.dw (if possible) should be carried
out. This can provide much of the information needed to find the source of vibration.
Drive the vehicle on a road that is preferably smooth and free of undulation and
if vibration is apparent note, the speed at which thevibration occurs, whattype of vibration occurs in each speed range (mechanical or audible), howthevibra- tion is affected by changes in vehicle speed , engine speed and engine torque, and the type of vibration sensitivity
(torque sensitive, vehicle speed sensitive, or speed sensitive).
Some of the condition terms used when describing sources of vibration are explained as follows:
0 Torque Sensitive
This condition can be improved or worsened by accelerating, decelerating, coasting, maintaining
a steady
vehicle speed and application of engine torque.
0 Vehicle Speed Sensitive
This means that the vibration always occurs at the same vehicle speed and is not affected by engine torque,
engine rpm, or transmission gear selection.
B
0 Engine Speed Sensitive
This means that the vibration occurs
at varying vehicle speeds when a different transmission gear is selected.
It can sometimes be isolated by increasing or decreasing engine speed with the transmission in 'NEUTRAL', or
by stall testing with the engine in gear. If the condition is enginesensitive, the condition is not related to tires.
If the road tests indicates that the vibration is related to the tires or wheels,use a 'lire Wear Diagnosis Chart' to
investigate the cause of concern. Should the road test indicate that there is tire whine, but noshake or vibration,
the noise originates from the contact between the tire and the road surface.

PRESSURE CONSCIOUS REDUCING VALVES - RENEW
Refer to Section 12.4, Brake System Bleeding before carrying out this procedure. Pay particular attention to the warn- ings and cautions relating to brake fluid, cleanliness and cleaning materials.
Note: The illustration shows the hydraulic control module of a 6 cyl. vehicle with traction control. Hydraulic control
modules on non-traction control vehicles have only three outlet ports. Apart from this, the removal procedure
is the same for all vehicles.
. Raise the vehicle.
Displace the bleeder screw dust cap of the front LH caliper.
The dust cap will remain captive on the bleed screw.
rn Connect a bleeder tube and bottle to the bleeder screw (1 Fig. 1) and open the bleeder screw.
Fit a brake pedal hold-down tool (JDS-9013) between the
brake pedal and the steering wheel. Adjust the tool to op- erate the brake pedal 60mm down. This operation is
necessary to prevent fluid
loss from the reservoir through
disconnected brake pipes.
. Re-tighten the front LH caliper bleeder screw. Disconnect
the bleeder tube from the bleeder screw and remove the
tube and bottle. Refit the bleeder screw dust cap.
rn Place absorbent material underneath the hydraulic con- trol module to absorb any spillages.
. Undo the rear brake pipe gland nuts (1 Fig. 2) at the pres- sure conscious reducing valves (PCRVs) (2 Fig. 2). Remove
the rear brake pipes.
m: Take necessary steps to prevent rotation of the
PCRVs when removing the rear brake pipes.
