Inspect for the following:
²Verify correct (OEM) wheel and tire, as well as
correct wheel weights. Aluminum wheels require
unique wheel weights. They are designed to fit the
contour of the wheel (Fig. 1).
²Inspect tires and wheels for damage, mud pack-
ing and unusual wear; correct as necessary.
²Check and adjust tire air pressure to the pres-
sure listed on the label attached to the rear face of
the driver's door.
ROAD TEST
Road test vehicle on a smooth road for a least five
miles to warm tires (remove any flat spots). Lightly
place hands on steering wheel at the 10:00 and 2:00
positions while slowly sweeping up and down from 90 to
110 km/h (55 to 70 mph) where legal speed limits allow.
Observe the steering wheel for:
²Visual Nibble (oscillation: clockwise/counter-
clockwise, usually due to tire imbalance)
²Visual Buzziness (high frequency, rapid vibra-
tion up and down)
To rule out vibrations due to brakes or powertrain:
²Lightly apply brakes at speed; if vibration occurs
or is enhanced, vibration is likely due to causes other
than tire and wheel assemblies.
²
Shift transmission into neutral while vibration is
occurring; if vibration is eliminated, vibration is likely
due to causes other than tire and wheel assemblies.
For brake vibrations, (Refer to 5 - BRAKES -
BASE/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/ROTORS -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
For powertrain vibrations, (Refer to 3 - DIFFEREN-
TIAL & DRIVELINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
For tire and wheel assembly vibrations, continue
with this diagnosis and testing procedure.
TIRE AND WHEEL BALANCE
(1) Balance the tire and wheel assemblies as nec-
essary following the wheel balancer manufacturer's
instructions and using the information listed in Stan-
dard Procedure - Tire And Wheel Balance. (Refer to
22 - TIRES/WHEELS - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
(2) Road test the vehicle for at least 5 miles, fol-
lowing the format described in Road Test.
(3) If the vibration persists, continue with this
diagnosis and testing procedure.
TIRE AND WHEEL RUNOUT/MATCH MOUNTING
(1)System Radial Runout.This on-the-vehicle
system check will measure the radial runout includ-
ing the hub, wheel and tire.
(a) Raise vehicle so tires clear floor. (Refer to
LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/HOISTING -
STANDARD PROCEDURE)
(b) Apply masking tape around the circumfer-
ence of the tire in the locations to be measured
(Fig. 2). Do not overlap the tape.
(c) Check system runout using Dial Indicator
Set, Special Tool C-3339A with 25-W wheel, or
equivalent. Place the end of the indicator against
each taped area (one at a time) (Fig. 2) and rotate
the tire and wheel. System radial runout should
not exceed 0.76 mm (0.030 inch) with no tread
ªdipsº or ªsteps.º Tread ªdipsº and ªstepsº can be
identified by spikes of the dial indicator gauge.
²Tread9dips9; Rapid decrease then increase in
dial indicator reading over 101.6 mm (4.0 inch) of
tread circumference.
²Tread9steps9; Rapid decrease or increase in dial
indicator reading over 101.6 mm (4.0 inch) of tread
circumference.
(d) If system runout is excessive, re-index the
tire and wheel assembly on the hub. Remove
assembly from vehicle and install it back on the
hub two studs over from original mounting posi-
tion. If re-indexing the tire and wheel assembly
corrects or reduces system runout, check hub
runout and repair as necessary (Refer to 5 -
BRAKES - BASE/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/
ROTORS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
(e) If system runout is still excessive, continue
with this diagnosis and testing procedure.
(2)Tire and Wheel Assembly Radial Runout.
This radial runout check is performed with the tire
and wheel assembly off the vehicle.
(a) Remove tire and wheel assembly from vehicle
and install it on a suitable wheel balancer.
(b) Check system runout using Dial Indicator
Set, Special Tool C-3339A with 25-W wheel, or
equivalent. Place the end of the indicator against
each taped area (one at a time) (Fig. 2) and rotate
the tire and wheel. Radial runout should not

(3) Grasp the wheel cover at the edges in line with
the remaining installed wheel mounting nuts and
pull straight outward from the wheel. This will pop

ing wheel nuts, removing the wheel cover from the
vehicle.
(4) Remove the two remaining wheel mounting
nuts from the hub's studs.
(5) Remove the wheel and tire from the hub.

CAUTION: Over-torquing the sensor nut by as little
as 12 N´m (106 in. lbs.) may result in sensor sepa-
ration from the valve stem. Under this condition,
the sensor may still function, however, the condi-
tion should be corrected immediately.(4) Mount tire on wheel following tire changer
manufacturers instructions, paying special attention
to the following to avoid damaging tire pressure sen-
sor:
(a) Rotating Wheel Tire Changers - Once the
wheel is mounted to the changer, position the sen-
sor valve stem approximately 210É from the head
of the changer in a clockwise direction before rotat-
ing the wheel (also in a clockwise direction) to
mount the tire (Fig. 20). Use this procedure on
both the upper and lower tire beads.
(b) Rotating Tool Tire Changers - Position the
wheel on the changer so that the sensor valve stem
is approximately 210É from the head of the changer
in a clockwise direction from the mounting end of
the tool (Fig. 21) Make sure the sensor is clear of
the lower bead breaker area to avoid damaging the
sensor when the breaker rises (Fig. 21). Rotate the
tool in a counterclockwise direction to mount the
tire. Use this procedure on both the upper and
lower tire beads.
(5) Install wheel and tire assembly on vehicle.

BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR
DESCRIPTION
The blend door actuator is a reversible, 12-volt
Direct Current (DC), servo motor (Fig. 3). The single
blend door actuator is located on the outboard side of
the rear heater-A/C unit housing, below the mode
door actuator. The blend door actuator is mechani-
cally connected to the blend air door. The blend door
actuator is interchangeable with the actuator for the
mode door. Each actuator is contained within an
identical black molded plastic housing with an inte-gral wire connector receptacle. Two integral mount-
ing tabs allow the actuator to be secured with two
screws to the rear heater-A/C unit housing. Each
actuator also has an identical output shaft with
splines that connects it to the pivot or linkage of the
proper door. The blend door actuator does not require
mechanical indexing to the blend air door pivot, as it
is electronically calibrated by the front heater-A/C
control module. The blend door actuator cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if damaged or faulty, it
must be replaced.
OPERATION
The blend door actuator is connected to the front
heater-A/C control module through the vehicle elec-
trical system by a dedicated two-wire take out and
connector of the rear HVAC wire harness. The blend
door actuator can move the blend air door in two
directions. When the front heater-A/C control module
pulls the voltage on one side of the motor connection
