NO.21 ENGINE NOISE [MZR 2.0, MZR 2.5]
| 21 | ENGINE NOISE |
|---|
| DESCRIPTION | Engine noise from under hood. |
| POSSIBLE CAUSE | Squeal, click or chirp noise: Improper engine oil level Improper drive belt tension Auto tensioner bearing malfunction Generator not installed correctly Loose installation of solenoid valves Splash shield or under cover loose (splashed water to drive belts) Rumble or grind noise: Improper drive belt tension Rattle sound noise: Loose parts Hiss sound noise: Air leakage from intake air system Loose spark plug Vacuum leakage Rap or roar noise: Dynamic dumper loose Exhaust system loose Intake air system loose Variable valve timing actuator malfunction Variable tumble control system malfunction Improper balancer unit backlash (MZR 2.5) Other noise: Tappet noise Timing chain noise |
NO.22 VIBRATION CONCERNS (ENGINE) [MZR 2.0, MZR 2.5]
| 22 | VIBRATION CONCERNS (ENGINE) |
|---|
| DESCRIPTION | Vibration from under hood or driveline. |
| POSSIBLE CAUSE | Loose attaching bolts or worn parts Cooling fan Drive belt and pulleys Engine mounts Exhaust system parts Generator Components malfunction such as worn parts Improper balance of wheels and tires Drive line malfunction Suspension malfunction |
Vibration Method
- If a malfunction occurs or becomes worse while driving on a rough road or when the engine is vibrating, perform the steps below. NOTE: There are several reasons why the vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical malfunction. Inspect the following: Connectors not fully seated Wiring harnesses not having full play Wiring harnesses laying across brackets or moving parts Wiring harnesses routed too close to hot parts An improperly routed, improperly clamped, or loose wiring harness can cause a wiring harness to become pinched between parts. The connector joints, points of vibration, and places where wiring harnesses pass such as through the firewall and body panels are the major areas to be checked.

Scheme 78: Inspection Method for Switch Connectors or Wiring Harnesses
- Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
- Switch the ignition to ON (engine off). NOTE: If the engine starts and runs, perform the following steps during idle.
- Access PIDs for the switch you are inspecting.
- Turn the switch on manually.
- Slightly shake each connector or wiring harness vertically and horizontally while monitoring the PID. If PID value is unstable, inspect for poor connection. see scheme 20: Inspecting Switch Connectors Or Wiring Harnesses
Scheme 79
Scheme 79: Inspection Method for Sensor Connectors or Wiring Harnesses
- Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
- Switch the ignition to ON (engine off). NOTE: If the engine starts and runs, perform the following steps during idle.
- Access PIDs for the switch you are inspecting.
- Slightly shake each connector or wiring harness vertically and horizontally while monitoring the PID. If PID value is unstable, inspect for poor connection. see scheme 21: Inspecting Sensor Connectors Or Wiring Harnesses
