Inspection Procedure 15: Vibration
COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM If vibration occurs when driving at constant speed or when acceleration in high range, the cause is probably an abnormal torque converter pressure, or a malfunction of the engine system, damper clutch solenoid valve, valve body or torque converter.
PROBABLE CAUSES Malfunction of damper clutch solenoid valve Malfunction of engine system Abnormal torque converter pressure Malfunction of valve body Malfunction of torque converter Malfunction of the engine-A/T-ECU
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
STEP 1. Check when the vibration occurs. Q: Does the vibration occur when the damper clutch is operating? YES: Go to Step 3. NO: Go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Engine system check Refer to GROUP 13A, Troubleshooting <4G63>, GROUP 13B, Troubleshooting <4G64>, Refer to GROUP 13C, Troubleshooting <4G69>. Q: Is the check result normal? YES: The inspection is complete. NO: Repair the engine system.

STEP 4. Torque converter check Check for damaged drive plate, incorrect installation in the input shaft (inserted at an angle), damaged splines or damper clutch sealing. Q: Is the check result normal? YES: Go to Step 5. NO: If repair is possible, repair the damaged part. If repair is not possible because the splines on the drive plate or torque converter are damaged, replace it.
