mileage FORD KUGA 2011 1.G Workshop Manual

sometimes noticed in the steering wheel/column,
seats, front floor panel, front door trim panel or
front end sheet metal. It is a low frequency
vibration (around 9-15 cycles per second). It
may or may not be increased by applying the
brakes lightly. REFER to Idle
Boom/Shake/Vibration in the Driveline Noise
and Vibration Symptom Chart.
3. High Speed: A vibration is felt in the front floor panel or seats with no visible shake, but with
an accompanying sound or rumble, buzz, hum,
drone or booming noise. Coast with the clutch
pedal depressed (manual transmission) or shift
control selector lever in "N" (NEUTRAL)
(automatic transmission) and engine idling. If
vibration is still evident, it may be related to
wheels, tires, front brake discs, wheel hubs or
front wheel bearings. REFER to Shake and
Vibration While Driving in the Driveline Noise
and Vibration Symptom Chart.
4. Engine rpm Sensitive: A vibration is felt whenever the engine reaches a particular rpm.
It will disappear in neutral coasts. The vibration
can be duplicated by operating the engine at
the problem rpm while the vehicle is stationary.
It can be caused by any component, from the
accessory drive belt to the clutch or torque
converter which turns at engine speed when the
vehicle is stopped. REFER to Shake and
Vibration While Driving in the Driveline Noise
and Vibration Symptom Chart.
5. Noise and Vibration While Turning: Clicking, popping or grinding noises may be due to the
following:
• worn, damaged or incorrectly installed front wheel bearing.
• damaged powertrain/drivetrain mounts.
Road Conditions
An experienced technician will always establish a
route that will be used for all NVH diagnosis road
tests. The road selected should be reasonably
smooth, level and free of undulations (unless a
particular condition needs to be identified). A
smooth asphalt road that allows driving over a
range of speeds is best. Gravel or bumpy roads
are unsuitable because of the additional road noise
produced. Once the route is established and consistently used, the road noise variable is
eliminated from the test results.
NOTE:
Some concerns may be apparent only on
smooth asphalt roads.
If a customer complains of a noise or vibration on
a particular road and only on a particular road, the
source of the concern may be the road surface. If
possible, try to test the vehicle on the same type
of road.
Vehicle Preparation
Carry out a thorough visual inspection of the
vehicle before carrying out the road test. Note
anything which is unusual. Do not repair or adjust
any condition until the road test is carried out,
unless the vehicle is inoperative or the condition
could pose a hazard to the technician. After
verifying that the condition has been corrected,
make sure all components removed have been
installed.
Power Steering Conditions
Check for the noise in the following conditions to
verify the customer concern.
• Check for the noise in several temperature conditions.
• Is the noise from when the vehicle was new?
• Can the noise be repeated constantly or is it random?
• Check the condition of the vehicle age, mileage and service record.
• Interview the customer to find the operating condition in which the noise will occur. Test the
vehicle based on the detail(s) from the customer
interview.
• Follow the power steering operation noise condition tables below, to find which condition
the noise will occur.
Power Steering Operation Noise Check
Step 1: Check for NVH concerns from non-steering
components, which may sound like noises coming
from the steering system.

System Operation
Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster contains analog displays
as well as warning and control lamps for displaying
the system status; in addiiton, there is an LCD
indicator field for driver information.
The instrument cluster receives the following
signals from the PCM via the high speed CAN
(controller area network) Bus (HS-CAN):
• Vehicle speed – The PCM receives the necessary signalsfrom the ABS (anti-lock brake system) wheel
sensors from the ABS control unit on the
HS-CAN.
• Engine Coolant Temperature
• Engine oil pressure.
• Engine speed
The instrument cluster receives the following
signals from the GEM via the medium speed CAN
Bus (MS-CAN):
• Ambient temperature
• Brake fluid level
• Handbrake control
• Door latch control
• Liftgate latch control
• High beam control
• Headlamp flasher control
• Direction indicator control
The fuel level signal is sent by the two fuel level
sensors in the fuel pumps in the semitrailer tank,
which is wired to the instrument cluster. The
sensors are connected in series, and the total
resistance is determined from the two individual resistors. The instrument cluster converts the raw
fuel level signal into a damped fuel level value.
The odometer shows the total distance travelled
by the vehicle and is based on the same signal as
is processed for the daily mileage counter. The
value is recorded by the instrument cluster and
stored in a protected EEPROM (Electronically
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) area.
This area is a memory protected against
manipulation. If the instrument cluster detects an
error in this memory area, e.g. through damage,
the driver is notified with the "Odometer error"
message.
Message center
The message center is operated using the left-hand
switch on the steering column.
The SET/RESET button is activated to select a
submenu and change the settings. If signal tones
have been activated, a short acoustic signal will
sound each time a button is pressed.
By turning the rotary switch, the different menu
displays can be scrolled through or a setting
selected.
In this display, the navigation system can also
display direction and distance information.
In addition, safety and warning messages can be
displayed in this system, such as "Coolant
overheating", "Engine system error" or "Washer
fluid level too low". In addition to a safety message,
a general warning light (red/yellow) lights up.
