Updated information marked by a black bar
SYMPTOM
While driving under light acceleration, you hear an intermittent pinging, rattling, or squealing from the engine compartment. The noise can easily be
mistaken for an engine ping or spark knock. In some cases, the noise happens only during engine warm up.
PROBABLE CAUSE
The intermediate shaft heat shield is loose in its mounting bushings.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Replace the intermediate shaft heat shield and, if needed, any specified nuts or gaskets.
