Repair Procedure

1) Inspect the vehicle for excessive vibration. If vibration is excessive, proceed to step 2. If vibration is caused by a rough idle, refer to the workshop manual for troubleshooting and repair procedures.

2) Check the idle speed. If the speed is not within 750 +/- 50 rpm, connect the system selector (49B0 19 9A0) and set the selector "TEST SW" to self-test. Adjust the idle speed to specification.

3) Verify that the cooling fan coupler is not pinched between the radiator, air cleaner and duct.





4) Check for interference between the condenser and the A/C pipe. Refer to Fig. 1. Adjust as necessary.





5) Check radiator upper mounting bracket rubber stud. The stud should be centered in the bracket dampener and the stud should extend no more than 0.06 in. (1.5 mm) from the top of the mount as shown in Fig. 2.

If stud is not centered or is above the top of the mount, adjust as follows, if not, proceed to step 6:

a) Loosen upper radiator brackets and adjust position of bracket to stud.

b) Loosen clamp on upper radiator hose and adjust radiator position. Refer to Fig 2.

6) If the vehicle is within the following VIN range, replace the lower radiator mount.

VIN = JM1BG****L0100001 through JM1BG****L0186253





7) Replace the following engine mounts.

NOTE:
Follow all procedures when installing engine mounts. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure accurate engine/mount alignment.
