INFORMATION

To properly diagnose the customer’s complaint, the applicable test plan for the misfire faults stored in the DME
must be performed to avoid repeat repairs.
If a misfire fault is not stored in the DME memory and an engine related drivability complaint is received, follow

the repair was successful. If the test plan again advises replacement of another part, perform the repairs
required and perform the “Basic check” again to verify the condition has been rectified.
8. If the results of the “Basic check” were inconclusive, perform the “Additional check” portion of the test
plan. If the test plan identifies a defective component, replace the component and repeat the “additional
check” portion of the test plan to ensure the problem was rectified.
WARRANTY INFORMATION

If performing the ISTA diagnostics and related test plans results with eligible and covered work, claim this work
with the applicable defect code and labor operations listed in KSD2.
