Record by record
9 records state a cause or a remedy. Each record is shown as short labels in the order fault → finding the cause → correction. Press a label to narrow to the records that state it.
Component named as the cause
Work done
How it is said to have ended
- says it came back1
- says it did not fix it1
- result not stated5
A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

Vibration Analysis Worksheet Service Bulletin
1Fault
2Finding the cause
Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)
- When diagnosing vibration, use the worksheet together with the Vibration Analysis - Road Testing procedure in the service information.
- Place the sensor where the vibration is felt: on the seat track for a seat complaint, on the steering column for a steering wheel complaint.
- Moving the sensor to other areas, look for the same Hz reading with the greatest amplitude.
- If a system balance was attempted and the vibration remains, check ring gear backlash at each tooth; readings should not vary more than 0.050 mm (0.002 in).
- Aluminum wheel/tire runout measured on the vehicle: maximum 0.030 in (.762 mm).
