SITUATION :
Engineering at McLaren
Automotive have released a service kit that
allows vehicles built with the OCS sensor bolt system to be
converted to the IEE Capacitance Mat type.
PROCEDURE :
The conversion kit should be fitted to all vehicles that will be visiting
the workshop with a diagnostic trouble code in the ORC module
relating to the sensor bolt system.
A DTC PDF printout must be extracted from MDS and attached to
the work package with all relevant DTCs logged in the ORC module.
