Condition
Some customers may comment on an underhood chirp, squeak or rattle noise. This noise is worse at idle or with the air conditioning running. This noise
could easily be confused for an accessory drive belt type noise.
Cause
This condition may be caused by loss of torque to the air induction system mounting bracket at the rear edge of the cylinder head.
Correction
Technicians are to replace the air induction mounting bracket nuts with washers and torque-prevailing nuts.
1.
Remove the two 13 mm nuts (see figure above).
2.
Install the two new washers and torque-prevailing nuts.
Tighten
Tighten the two nuts to 25 N.m (18 lb ft).
