Hello
Thanks a lot for the question,
You need to connect the OBDII connector to the scanner and read the fault codes.
If you don't have a scanner, you can try and do the following:
Press and hold the reset button for the odometer.
Turn the key on to accessory.
Keep holding the button until the words TEST appear.
Once the words TEST appear let go of the odometer button and press it again to cycle through the onboard test.
Push the button to dtc which will give an error codes.
Thanks!

OK, in that case if the vibration is too high, I wouldn't touch anything. I would recommend to revise the motor belts, but nothing else.
You may also consider replacing the rubbeer motor support that prevents the vibration of the motor traspasing to the body of the vehicle.

what does "revise the motor belts" mean?also, if it were the motor mount, it should shake more than just at idle, right?

It will vibrate at any given RPM, however some specific RPM may cause resonance in the motor compartment. It may happend at IDLE or at any specific RPM value.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
