Air bubbles are being pushed out of radiator cap to overflow tank when engine is running. Performed pressure test of cooling system with spark plugs out.

Verified concern on road test. Scan test shows P1D93 stored in PCM as current. Inspection of fluid level and condition found level is good, but condition is poor with signs of fine metal in sample. Based on vehicle mileage, transmission replacement is recommended for concern. Additionally, engine vibration is felt in cabin at all times and is being transmitted by weak powertrain mounts on vehicle. P0420 is also stored in ECM and recall software is available for this concern if not already performed.

Unable to duplicate concern after starting with 4 hour sit time. A minor amount of steam from tailpipe was produced and this is a normal condition with all internal combustion engines. Performed inspection on engine bay and found all fluids in good condition with proper levels. Scan test shows no powertrain codes are stored. Suspect concern is normal steam produced from condensed water vapors trapped in exhaust, cylinders, and aftertreatment systems.
