The acronym for wide open throttle is WOT.
Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-
held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe balancing
function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a driveshaft or engine
accessories.
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose and
repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel. „If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of
the vehicle.
„ A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline,
drive axle or rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins, when it reaches maximum intensity, and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
„Frequencies should be read in the "average" mode. Item Description

„
Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an
8 Hz through 12 Hz.
d. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
e. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another reading.
f. Compare the readings.
„A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
„ An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter,
or engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
„ Example: A vibration is felt in the seat. Place the sensor on the console. Record the
readings. Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the
frequencies are the same, the axle is the problem component.
Vibrate Software®
Vibrate Software® ( Rotunda tool number 215- 00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in pinpointing
the source of unacceptable vibrations. The engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration
diagnosis. Every rotating component will have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as
the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate Software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and
graphically represents these velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet.
The following steps outline how Vibrate Software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
zEnter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing
tire, driveshaft and engine vibrations.
z Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
z Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
„An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will
be needed.
z Provide pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
Combination EngineEAR/ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The ChassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier bearings.
EngineEAR Basic Unit
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect the
noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power steering
pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear teeth and for
detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones. The directional
sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the suspect component
and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a component will reveal
structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the component. Various
volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas where
there is weather- stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks, vacuum leaks Klj . 12 ba

GENERAL PROCEDURES
Refrigerant Identification Testing
1. NOTE: An A/C refrigerant analyzer must be used to identify gas samples taken directly from the
refrigeration system or storage containers prior to recovering or charging the refrigerant system.
Follow the instructions included with the Deluxe Refrigerant Diagnostic Tool to obtain the
sample for testing.
2. The diagnostic tool will display one of the following: zIf the purity level of R- 134a or R-12 is 98% or greater by weight, the green "PASS" light
emitting diode (LED) will light. The weight concentrations of R- 134a, R-12, R-22,
hydrocarbons, and air will be displayed on the digital display.
z If refrigerants R-134a or R- 12 do not meet the 98% purity levels, the red "FAIL" LED will
light and a horn will sound alerting the user of potential hazards. The weight
concentrations of R-134a, R- 12, R-22, and hydrocarbons will be displayed on the digital
display.
z If hydrocarbon concentrations are 2% or greater by weight, the red "FAIL" LED will light,
"Hydrocarbon High" will be displayed on the digital display, and a horn will sound alerting
the user of potential hazards. The weight concentrations of R- 134a, R-12, R-22, and
hydrocarbons will also be displayed on the digital display.
3. The percentage of air contained in the sample will be displayed if the R- 134a or R-12 content is
98% or greater. The diagnostic tool eliminates the effect of air when determining the refrigerant
sample content because air is not considered a contaminant, although air can affect A/C system
performance. When the diagnostic tool has determined that a refrigerant source is pure (R- 134a
or R- 12 is 98% or greater by weight) and air concentration levels are 2% or greater by weight,
the diagnostic tool will prompt the user if an air purge is desired.
4. If contaminated refrigerant is detected, repeat the refrigerant identification test to verify that the refrigerant is indeed contaminated.
5. CAUTION: If contaminated refrigerant is detected, DO NOT recover the refrigerant
into R- 134a or R- 12 recovery/recycling equipment.
Recover any contaminated refrigerant using suitable recovery- only equipment designed for
capturing and storing contaminated refrigerant. For additional information, refer to
Contaminated Refrigerant Handling in this section.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Instrument Cluster
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell
60 , Instrument Cluster for schematic and connector information.
Principles of Operation
NOTE: A new instrument cluster must be reconfigured. Refer to Section 418 - 01 .
The instrument cluster is a hybrid electronic cluster (HEC). The instrument cluster uses both hardwired
and the standard corporate protocol (SCP) communication network to transmit and receive
information. As a technician it is very important to understand:
zwhere the input originates from.
z all information necessary in order for a feature to operate.
z which module(s) receive(s) the input or command message.
z does the module which received the input control the output of the feature, or does it output a
message over the SCP network to another module?
z which module controls the output of the feature.
The instrument cluster carries out a display prove- out to verify that the warning/indicator miniature
bulbs for monitored systems are functioning correctly. When the ignition switch is in the ON position
with the engine off, the following warning indicators will prove out:

Instrument Cluster Replacement
When it is necessary to install a new instrument cluster, contact the Instrument Cluster Program.
Gauge Indication Systems
Tachometer
Engine rpm information is relayed to the instrument cluster from the powertrain control module (PCM)
over the standard corporate protocol (SCP) network.
Speedometer
The instrument cluster receives the vehicle speed signal from the PCM over the SCP network and
displays it on the speedometer gauge. If the instrument cluster receives no vehicle speed signal after
one second, the speedometer defaults to 0.0 km/h (0.0 mph).
Odometer
The instrument cluster receives an odometer message from the PCM and stores the mileage in
memory. When the instrument cluster fails to receive the odometer message for more than two
seconds, the odometer will display dashes.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel sender is hardwired to the fuel gauge. When the instrument cluster fails to receive the fuel
level signal for more than 33 seconds, the fuel level gauge will move below E (empty). If the fuel level
signal operates correctly for more than 33 seconds, the fuel gauge will return to the correct position.
Fuel fills of less than 9.5 liters (2.5 gallons) require at least 10 minutes to update the fuel gauge
indication.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
Engine coolant temperature information is received by the instrument cluster from the PCM over the
SCP network. Engine coolant temperatures above 121°C (250°F) will cause the gauge to indicate
above the normal band. If the engine coolant temperature information is missing or invalid for five
seconds, the temperature gauge will indicate below the cold (C) position.
Voltage Gauge (except Cobra)
The voltage gauge displays the system voltage as measured at the instrument cluster run input. Boost Gauge (Cobra only) Klj . 2 ba
