Summary
Diagnosing Stored Fault Codes to Help Avoid Repeat Repair Visits This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI B07 03 14 dated October 2015.. Fault codes stored in vehicles being serviced are not being diagnosed, leading to repeat repair visits (source- Analysis of FASTA data and repeat repair visit reports). INFORMATION Where diagnosis (vehicle or short test) with ISTA has already started, it is important to diagnose the fault code(s) listed below (when they are stored in the vehicle) to find their root cause during the current workshop visit. This will help lead to a reduction in workshop repeat repair visits and higher customer satisfaction.

SITUATION
Fault codes stored in vehicles being serviced are not being diagnosed, leading to repeat repair
visits (source- Analysis of FASTA data and repeat repair visit reports).
INFORMATION
Where diagnosis (vehicle or short test) with ISTA has already started, it is important to diagnose
the fault code(s) listed below (when they are stored in the vehicle) to find their root cause during
the current workshop visit. This will help lead to a reduction in workshop repeat repair visits and
higher customer satisfaction.
PROCEDURE
The following list of fault codes has been identified as causing repeat customer repair visits. The
fault codes should be diagnosed when they are found stored in the vehicle after performing a
vehicle or short test.
The test plan is to be completed and its recommendations followed to properly repair the vehicle.
