Vibration Method

  1. If malfunction occurs or becomes worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating, perform the steps below.
    NOTE:
    • There are several reasons vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical malfunction. Some of the things to inspect for are:
      • Connectors not fully seated
      • Wiring harnesses not having full play
      • Wiring harnesses laying across brackets or moving parts
      • Wiring harnesses routed too close to hot parts
    • An improperly routed, improperly clamped, or loose wiring harness can cause wiring to become pinched between parts.
    • The connector joints, points of vibration, and places where wiring harnesses pass through the fire wall, body panels, etc. are the major areas to be inspected.
