NOTE:
NVH symptoms should be identified using the diagnostic tools that are available. For a list of these tools, an explanation of their uses and a glossary of common terms, refer to
NOISE, VIBRATION & HARSHNESS
. Since it is possible any one of multiple systems may be the cause of a symptom, it may be necessary to use a process of elimination type of diagnostic approach to pinpoint the responsible system. If this is not the causal system for the symptom, refer back to
NOISE, VIBRATION & HARSHNESS
for the next likely system and continue diagnosis.
