Engine Speed Sensitive
This means that the vibration occurs at varying
vehicle speeds when a different transmission gear
is selected. It can sometimes be isolated by
increasing or decreasing engine speed with the
transmission in NEUTRAL or by stall testing with
the transmission in gear. If the condition is engine
speed sensitive, the cause is probably not related
to the tires.
If the road test indicates that there is tire whine,
but no shake or vibration, the noise originates with
the contact between the tire and the road surface.A thumping noise usually means that the tire is flat
or has soft spots making a noise as they slap the
roadway. Tire whine can be distinguished from axle
noise. Tire whine remains the same over a range
of speeds.
A complete road test procedure is described in
Section 100-04.
REFER to:
Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
(100-04 Noise, Vibration and Harshness,
Diagnosis and Testing).
