SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
Interview the customer, if possible, to determine the conditions that exist when the noise occurs. Use the Diag-
nostic Worksheet during the interview to document the facts and conditions when the noise occurs and any
customer's comments; refer to INT-11, "
Diagnostic Worksheet". This information is necessary to duplicate the
conditions that exist when the noise occurs.
The customer may not be able to provide a detailed description or the location of the noise. Attempt to obtain
all the facts and conditions that exist when the noise occurs (or does not occur).
If there is more than one noise in the vehicle, be sure to diagnose and repair the noise that the customer is
concerned about. This can be accomplished by test driving the vehicle with the customer.
After identifying the type of noise, isolate the noise in terms of its characteristics. The noise characteristics
are provided so the customer, service adviser and technician are all speaking the same language when
defining the noise.
- Squeak — (Like tennis shoes on a clean floor)
Squeak characteristics include the light contact/fast movement/brought on by road conditions/hard surfaces
= higher pitch noise/softer surfaces = lower pitch noises/edge to surface = chirping
- Creak — (Like walking on an old wooden floor)
Creak characteristics include firm contact/slow movement/twisting with a rotational movement/pitch depen-
dent on materials/often brought on by activity.
- Rattle — (Like shaking a baby rattle)
Rattle characteristics include the fast repeated contact/vibration or similar movement/loose parts/missing
clip or fastener/incorrect clearance.
- Knock — (Like a knock on a door)
Knock characteristics include hollow sounding/sometimes repeating/often brought on by driver action.
- Tick — (Like a clock second hand)
Tick characteristics include gentle contacting of light materials/loose components/can be caused by driver
action or road conditions.
- Thump — (Heavy, muffled knock noise)
Thump characteristics include softer knock/dead sound often brought on by activity.
- Buzz — (Like a bumblebee)
Buzz characteristics include high frequency rattle/firm contact.
Often the degree of acceptable noise level will vary depending upon the person. A noise that you may judge
as acceptable may be very irritating to the customer.
Weather conditions, especially humidity and temperature, may have a great effect on noise level.
DUPLICATE THE NOISE AND TEST DRIVE
If possible, drive the vehicle with the customer until the noise is duplicated. Note any additional information on
the Diagnostic Worksheet regarding the conditions or location of the noise. This information can be used to
duplicate the same conditions when you confirm the repair.

DRIVE BELTS
DRIVE BELTS : CheckingINFOID:0000000001730848
Inspection should be done only when engine is cold or over 30
minutes after the engine is stopped.
Visually check belts for wear, damage, and cracks on inside and
edges.
Turn crankshaft pulley two time clockwise, and make sure tension on all pulleys is equal before doing the
test.
When measuring deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the ( ) marked point.
Measure the belt tension and frequency with acoustic tension gauge (commercial service tool) at the ( )
marked point.
CAUTION:
When the tension and frequency are measured, the acoustic tension gauge should be used.
When checking immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after turning
crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the specified value to avoid variation in deflection
between pulleys.
DRIVE BELTS : Tension AdjustmentINFOID:0000000001730849
CAUTION:
When belt is replaced with new one, adjust belt tension to the value for “New belt”, because new belt
will not fully seat in the pulley groove.
When tension of the belt being used exceeds “Limit”, adjust it to the value for “After adjusted”.
When installing a belt, make sure it is correctly engaged with the pulley groove.
Never allow oil or engine coolant to get on the belt.
Never twist or bend the belt strongly.
1. Loosen the idler pulley lock nut (A) from the tightening position
with the specified torque by 45 degrees.

WARNING:
When servicing the SRS, do not work from directly in front of air bag module.
CAUTION:
Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least
3 minutes.
Do not tap or bump the steering wheel.
Do not disassemble the spiral cable.
Do not allow oil, grease or water to come in contact with the spiral cable.
Replace the spiral cable if it has been dropped or sustained an impact.
With the steering linkage disconnected, the spiral cable may snap by turning the steering wheel
beyond the limited number of turns. The spiral cable can be turned counterclockwise about 2.5 turns
from the neutral position.
1. Disconnect the negative and positive battery cables, then wait at least 3 minutes.
2. Set the front wheels to the straight-ahead/neutral position.
3. Remove the steering wheel. Refer to ST-8, "
Removal and Installation".
4. Remove the column cover upper and lower.
5. Disconnect wiper and washer switch connector (1). Then while
pressing tabs (2), pull wiper and washer switch away from spiral
cable to remove.

REMOVAL
NOTE:
When reconnecting spiral cable, secure cable with a tape so that case and rotating part keep aligned. This will
omit neutral position alignment procedure during spiral cable installation.
1. Set front wheels to straight-ahead position.
2. Remove driver air bag module. Refer to SR-4, "
Removal and Installation" .
3. Remove steering wheel lock nut after steering is locked.
4. Remove steering wheel.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Do not run spiral cable idle needlessly. And do not turn it more than necessary (or it leads to discon-
nection of the cable).
NOTE:
The neutral position is set as follows.
Turn the spiral cable clockwise to the end position. Then turn it
counterclockwise (about 2 and half turns) and stop turning at the
point on which the stopper insertion holes are in the same position
(B). The service part is installed in the neutral position by the stop-
per and can be set without adjusting after the stopper is removed.
Adjust the spiral cable locating pin (B) to the steering wheel locat-
ing pin hole (C).
