DIAGNOSIS:
Engine Noise Diagnosis
1. Does engine exhibit an audible knock or tapping type noise at normal operating
temperature?
a. Yes>>> Proceed to Step 2.

vehicles. Manual injector deactivation may be necessary). Does the engine noise
change in sound/intensity?
a. Yes>>> Remove engine oil pan and inspect connecting rod and main bearings for
damage, then proceed to Step 3.
b. No>>> Continue normal diagnosis to pinpoint cause of noise, then proceed to Step
3.
3. Complete the Repair/Replace Powertrain Worksheet (70% rule analysis) available in
TechCONNECT> Repair Information> Diagnostic Check Sheets> Repair Replace
Worksheet.
Oil Consumption Diagnosis
1. Perform the Oil Consumption Test located in TechCONNECT>Service Info>09 Engine>Diagnosis and Testing>Oil Consumption Test and Diagnosis. (Note: This
procedure can be found utilizing any 2011 Model Year and later
Year/Model/Engine selection) Did the vehicle pass the Oil Consumption Test?
a. Yes>>> No further action necessary.
b. No>>> Proceed to Step 2.
2. Check the Positive Crankcase Ventilation(PCV) system. Make sure the system is not
restricted and the PCV valve has the correct part number and correct vacuum source
(18-20 in. Hg at idle below 3000 ft. above sea level is considered normal). Were any
issues noted?
a. Yes>>> Repair as necessary.
