Engine Vibration Is Excessive

SMCS - 1000-035; 1152-035; 3252-035

Refer to Systems Operation, Testing, and Adjusting for additional information on determining the
cause of this condition.

Probable Causes
• Driven equipment

• Engine supports

• Vibration damper (if equipped)

• Low compression (cylinder pressure)

• Electronic unit injectors

• Individual malfunctioning cylinder

Recommended Actions
Note: When performing the following procedure, do not stand near the engine. The vibration may
indicate an imminent component failure.

Note: Complete the procedure in the order in which the steps are listed.

1. Driven Equipment
A. Inspect the mounting bolts for the
driven equipment. Inspect the
alignment and the balance of the driven
equipment.
B. Inspect the coupling.
2. Engine Supports
A. Inspect the mounts and the brackets
while the engine is operated through
the speed range. Check for mounts and
brackets that are loose and/or broken.
B. Check the alignment of the mounts
before operating the engine under load
for any length of time.
3. Inspect the Vibration Damper (if
equipped)
A. Clean any debris from around the
vibration damper. Check the vibration
damper for damage or leakage.
B. Inspect the mounting bolts for
damage and/or for wear. Refer to
Disassembly and Assembly, "Vibration
Damper and Pulley - Remove" and
Disassembly and Assembly, "Vibration
Damper and Pulley - Install".
4. Low Compression (Cylinder
Pressure)
A. Perform a compression test. Refer to
Systems Operation, Testing, and
Adjusting, "Compression - Test ".

5. Electronic Unit Injectors
A. Use the electronic service tool to
perform the automatic "Cylinder Cut
Out Test".
Note: If the compression test that was
performed in Test Step 4 was
satisfactory, the "Cylinder Cut Out
Test" will identify any faulty injectors.
6. Individual Malfunctioning
Cylinders
A. With the engine speed at a fast idle,
use the electronic service tool to

list:
· Loose glow plugs
· Faulty piston
· Faulty piston rings
· Worn cylinder bores
· Worn valves
· Faulty cylinder head gasket
· Damaged cylinder head
Result: The results of the compression
test are OK.
Proceed to Test Step 5.
Result: A faulty injector is indicated.
Repair: Remove any faulty electronic
unit injectors. Refer to Disassembly and
Assembly, "Electronic Unit Injector -
Remove".
Install new electronic unit injectors. Refer
to Disassembly and Assembly,
"Electronic Unit Injector - Install".

the replacement electronic unit injector
and install the original electronic unit
injector. Refer to Disassembly and
Assembly, "Electronic Unit Injector -
Remove" and Disassembly and
Assembly, "Electronic Unit Injector -
Install".
Result: All injectors are OK.
Proceed to Test Step 6.
Cylinders Result: The test indicates a faulty
cylinder.
Repair: Investigate the cause of the fault
on any cylinder that is not operating.

sound of the engine. Contact the Dealer Solutions Network
(DSN).
If a change in the sound of the engine
is not noted, the isolated cylinder is not
operating under normal conditions. If
the isolation of a cylinder results in a
change in the sound that is less
noticeable, the cylinder may be
operating below normal performance.
