NOTE: NVH symptoms should be identified using the diagnostic tools that are available. For a list of these tools, an
explanation of their uses and a glossary of common terms, refer to Section 100-04. Since it is possible any one of
multiple systems may be the cause of a symptom, it may be necessary to use a process of elimination type of
diagnostic approach to pinpoint the responsible system.
