This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician that some vehicles may have rattle, tick, or knock type noise. If there are any drivability concerns they should be addressed prior to the following diagnostic progression. Technician will take a sound file or video with sound of the noise prior to dis-assembly. Technician may find this noise hard to isolate to one area in the engine. There are four different steps to take to diagnosis the concern. Technician will perform injector diagnosis to ensure there are no leaking injectors causing a noise due to excessive fuel in any one cylinder. Replace any out of specification injectors the reevaluate for the noise. Technician will remove the intake manifold and visually inspect for excessive carbon on the intake valve stems and top of the valve causing noise. If carbon is present then follow the latest version of PIP5029 to clean the valves or replace heads as needed. Technician will remove the cam cover of the affected bank (both if needed) to inspect for soft or spongy stationary hydraulic lash adjusters. Push down on the rocker end at the stationary hydraulic lash adjusters to test for soft or spongy. If soft or spongy stationary hydraulic lash adjusters are found, carefully remove the affected head and inspect the oil passage below the head gasket for debris. If debris is found, inspect the camshaft caps for wear or discoloration due to lack of oil. During inspection if wear or discoloration is found then replace the cylinder head assembly with camshafts. If there is no wear or discoloration, clean the oil passages and replace the head gasket. Technician will use chassis ears or a stethoscope; listen to the right and left side of the engine. Once the noise is isolated or if unable to isolate, remove the piston and rod assemblies from the affected bank(s) to inspect for either; a loose rod bushing in the rod, or a loose wrist pin in the bushing.

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician on the steps to diagnose and repair vehicles were the engine cooling fan intermittently stops working. This concern may be caused by water intrusion into the forward lamp harness. If the wiring harness is stretched, or side loaded, where the cooling fan module connector plugs in, this may allow water to wick down the harness, past the weather pack seals, and into the connector itself. Technician will first need to inspect the forward lamp wiring harness to cooling fan module connector for the presence of moisture and/or corrosion. If either is found, the fan control module and the forward lamp harness will both need to be replaced. If no water or corrosion is found after inspecting this connection, refer to Service Information continue with regular diagnosis. If components are replaced the technician will gain access to G101 and G102. With access to both to both G101 and G102 remove any corrosion that is found on either ground. When the grounds are clean and free of corrosion, apply about a half inch length of butyl tape around the wire connection to the ground screw. Once this has been done, cut two patches of butyl, about 2.5 inch square, and apply over the ground screw on both chassis grounds. |
