Engine Shake
An exaggerated engine movement or vibration that
directly increases in frequency as the engine speed
increases. It is caused by non-equal distribution of

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
To assist the service advisor and the technician, a
Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide are
included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid
serves as a place to record all important symptom
information. NHV Diagnostic Guide serves as a place
to record information reported on the Write-up Job Aid
as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH
Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings, then
proceed to each of the numbered process steps to
complete the diagnosis.
