DIAGNOSIS
Does the engine make a louder than normal whine?
Yes – Turn off the engine, then go to step 2.
No – This bulletin does not apply.
- With the engine still cold, remove the drive belt, then start the engine, and run it briefly while listening for the noise.
NOTE: Do not run the engine for very long, because the water pump and the alternator are not operating.
- If you still hear the noise, reinstall the drive belt, then go to REPAIR PROCEDURE.
- If you don’t hear the noise, reinstall the drive belt, then continue with normal troubleshooting.
NOTE: A certain level of whine from the power steering pump is normal. Replacing the power steering pump will not change this noise.
