TROUBLESHOOTING
Special Tools Required
Vacuum pump/gauge, 0-30 in.Hg Snap-on YA4000A or equivalent, commercially available
Follow this procedure if the engine vibrates excessively when idling.
1. Start the engine, and let it idle (see IDLE SPEED INSPECTION ).
2. Raise the engine speed from idling to 2,000 RPM.
NOTE: Check the vacuum hoses and lines for damage and proper connections
before troubleshooting.

3. Check the MOUNT CTRL SOL in the PGM-FI DATA LIST with the HDS.
Is ON indicated at idling and OFF indicated at 2,000 RPM?
YES - Go to step 4.
NO - Update the powertrain control module (PCM) if it does not have the latest software (see
UPDATING THE PCM ), or substitute a known-good PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE PCM ),
then recheck. If the engine mount control system works properly, and the PCM was updated, the
troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM (see PCM
REPLACEMENT ).
4. Shift the transmission to P or N position.
5. Disconnect the engine mount control solenoid valve 2P connector from the engine mount control
solenoid valve.
6. Measure the voltage between engine mount control solenoid valve 2P connector terminal No. 2 and
body ground.

2 And Body Ground
Is there battery voltage?
YES - Go to step 7.
NO - Repair open in the wire between engine mount control solenoid valve 2P connector terminal No.
2 and No. 18 (15A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
7. Measure the voltage between engine mount control solenoid valve 2P connector terminals No. 1 and
No. 2, with the engine at idle.

YES - Go to step 8.
NO - Repair open in the wire between PCM (B7) and the engine mount control solenoid valve 2P
connector. If the wire is OK, update the PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING
THE PCM ), or substitute a known-good PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE PCM ), and recheck. If
the engine mount control system works properly, and the PCM was updated, the troubleshooting is
complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM (see PCM REPLACEMENT ).
8. Raise the engine speed above 1,000 RPM.
9. Measure the voltage between engine mount control solenoid valve 2P connector terminals No. 1 and
No. 2.

Terminals 1 And 2
YES - Repair short to body ground in the wire between PCM (B7) and the engine mount control
solenoid valve. If the wire is OK, update the PCM if it does not have the latest software (see
UPDATING THE PCM ), or substitute a known-good PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE PCM ),
and recheck. If the engine mount control system works properly, and the PCM was updated, the
troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM (see PCM

REPLACEMENT ).
NO - Go to step 10.
10. Disconnect the vacuum hose (A) that is closest to the solenoid connector from the engine mount
control solenoid valve (B), and connect a commercially available vacuum pump/gauge, 0-30 in.Hg, to
the hose. Apply about 20 in.Hg of vacuum, and wait for 20 seconds.

Do the engine mounts hold vacuum?
YES - Go to step 11.
NO - Either the vacuum hose or one of the engine mounts has a vacuum leak. Repair as needed.
11. Release the vacuum, then apply vacuum again.
Is there a noticeable change in idle smoothness with and without vacuum applied?
YES - Go to step 12.
NO - Replace the front engine mount and/or rear engine mount.
12. Connect a commercially available vacuum pump/ gauge, 0-30 in.Hg, to the engine mount control
solenoid valve port (A) that is closest to the solenoid connector.

Is there manifold vacuum at idle, and a decrease in manifold vacuum when you raise the engine speed
above 1,000 RPM?
YES - The system is OK.
NO - Replace the engine mount control solenoid valve.
