TRUNK
Trunk noises are often caused by a loose jack or loose items put into the trunk by the owner.
In addition look for:
1. Trunk lid dumpers out of adjustment
2. Trunk lid striker out of adjustment
3. Trunk lid torsion bars knocking together
4. A loose license plate or bracket
Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing the noise.
SUNROOF/HEADLINING
Noises in the sunroof/headlining area can often be traced to one of the following:
1. Sunroof lid, rail, linkage or seals making a rattle or light knocking noise
2. Sunvisor shaft shaking in the holder
3. Front or rear windshield touching headlining and squeaking
Again, pressing on the components to stop the noise while duplicating the conditions can isolate most of these
incidents. Repairs usually consist of insulating with felt cloth tape.
SEATS
When isolating seat noise it's important to note the position the seat is in and the load placed on the seat when
the noise is present. These conditions should be duplicated when verifying and isolating the cause of the
noise.
Cause of seat noise include:
1. Headrest rods and holder
2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame
3. Rear seatback lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the con-
ditions under which the noise occurs. Most of these incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component
or applying urethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOOD
Some interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then
transmitted into the passenger compartment.
Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:
1. Any component mounted to the engine wall
2. Components that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator mounting pins
5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best
method is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine RPM
or load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.

InspectionEBS01E6P
LEVEL CHECK
lCheck if the reservoir tank engine coolant level within MIN to
MAX when engine is cool.
lAdjust engine coolant level as necessary.
CHECKING RADIATOR SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
lTo check for leaks of cooling system, apply pressure to the res-
ervoir tank (1) with the radiator cap tester (commercial service
tool) (A) and the radiator cap tester adapter (B) [SST:
EG17650301].
WARNING:
Do not remove reservoir tank cap and/or radiator cap when
engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high pres-
sure engine coolant escaping from reservoir tank and/or
radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher test pressure than specified may cause cooling system damage.
NOTE:
In a case that engine coolant decreases, replenish radiator and reservoir tank with engine coolant.
lIf anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
Changing Engine CoolantEBS01E6Q
WARNING:
lTo avoid being scalded, do not change engine coolant when engine is hot.
lWrap a thick cloth around cap and carefully remove cap. First, turn cap a quarter of a turn to
release built-up pressure. Then turn cap all the way.
lBe careful not to allow engine coolant to contact drive belts.
