INTAKE AND EXHAUST DIAGNOSIS

INTRODUCTION
M1151006900417
Intake leaks usually create driveability issues that
are not obviously related to the intake system.
Exhaust leaks or abnormal noise is caused by
cracks, gaskets and fittings, or by exhaust pipe or
muffler damage due to impacts during travel. The
exhaust leaks from these sections and causes the
exhaust noise to increase. There may be cases
when the system contacts the body and vibration
noise is generated.

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES

Inspection Procedure 1: Exhaust Leakage

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Start the engine. Have an assistant stay in the

driver’s seat. Raise the vehicle on a hoist. Have the
assistant rev the engine while searching for exhaust leaks.
Q: Is the exhaust leaking?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : The procedure is complete.

STEP 2. Check the gasket for cracks, damage.

Q: Is the gasket damaged?
YES : Replace the gasket (Refer to P.15-11 or P.15-14).
Then go to Step 4.
NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check for loosening in each coupling section.

Q: Is there any loosening in any section?
YES : Tighten the loosening section (Refer to P.15-11 or
P.15-14). Then go to Step 4.
NO : There is no action to be taken.

STEP 4. Start the engine. Have an assistant stay in the

driver’s seat. Raise the vehicle on a hoist. Have the
assistant rev the engine while searching for exhaust leaks.
Q: Is the exhaust leaking?
YES : Return to Step 2.
NO : The procedure is complete.

Inspection Procedure 2: Abnormal Noise

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Start the engine. Have an assistant stay in the

drivers seat. Raise the vehicle on a hoist. Have the
assistant rev the engine while searching for abnormal
noise.
Q: Is any abnormal noise generated?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : The procedure is complete.

TSB Revision
15-4 INTAKE AND EXHAUST
INTAKE AND EXHAUST DIAGNOSIS

STEP 2. Check for missing parts in the muffler. Tap the

muffler lightly to check for loose baffles, etc.
Q: Are there any missing parts in the muffler?
YES : Replace the muffler (Refer to P.15-14). Then go to
Step 7 .
NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check the hanger for cracks.

Q: Is the hanger cracked?
YES : Replace the hanger (Refer to P.15-14). Then go to
Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check for interference of the pipes and muffler

with the body.
Q: Are the pipes and muffler interfering with the body?
YES : Repair the pipes or muffler. Then go to Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the heat protectors.

Q: Are any heat protectors loose or damaged?
YES : Tighten or replace the heat protector (Refer to
P.15-14). Then go to Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check the pipes and muffler for damage.

Q: Are the pipes and muffler damaged?
YES : Replace the pipes or muffler (Refer to P.15-14). Then
go to Step 7.
NO : There is no action to be taken.

STEP 7. Start the engine. Have an assistant stay in the

drivers seat. Raise the vehicle on a hoist. Have the
assistant rev the engine while searching for abnormal
noise.
Q: Is any abnormal noise generated?
YES : Return to Step 2.
NO : The procedure is complete.
