21. Test drive the vehicle to confirm proper operation. Diagnose and correct any DTCs that return.
22. Does the vehicle exhibit the engine knocking noise condition?
D

YES - Go to ENGINE REPLACEMENT VERIFICATION PROCEDURES.

D

NO - Repair is complete. Return vehicle to customer.

23. Engine Replacement Verification Procedure (only if engine knocking noise is

reported)

1. Start the engine and let idle.
D

If no knocking noise is heard, go to step 2.

D

If a knocking noise is heard, go to step 3.

2. Put selector lever in D position, apply the emergency brake and service brake and gradually
raise engine speed to 1,500 RPM.
D

If a knocking noise is heard, go to step 3.

D

If the engine noise is normal, do NOT replace the engine. Return vehicle to customer.

3. Create a Techline case.
24. Open the hood and keep the engine running at idle. If noise is only heard at 1,500 RPM, have a
second person in drivers seat and gradually increase engine speed to 1,500 RPM during the
recording.
25. Using a video recording device (smart-phone, camera, etc.) start the video recording by clearly
filming the VIN on the FMVSS Label on the B-Pillar. Then stand near the open hood and record
the knocking noise for approximately 5 seconds.
NOTE: To keep file size more manageable, total filming time should be less than 10 seconds. File
size may be reduced by adjusting video recording resolution to a lower setting or by using
a video compression software on your PC (such as Microsoft Movie Maker, Wondershare
Video Converter etc).

6. Save the video recording with the following
naming convention: the last 8 digits of the VIN
AND the Techline case number (for example:
EH004169_187621.mp4).
7. Attach the video file to the Techline case using
the instructions and images below.
A. Download the video file to the device you
will be accessing the Techline System from:
D

From MEDIC: Copy the video file to a
flash drive and connect to the USB
port of the Toughbook/Toughpad.

D

From any device other than MEDIC:
Copy the video file to the hard drive
of the PC (or a flash drive may be
used if desired).

B. Navigate to the Techline System (through
MDL). Find and open the previously created
Techline case.
Click on the attachment icon (paper clip).
NOTE: This icon is only available when a Techline case is NOT closed AND the video file size limit
for attachments is 25 MB.
C. A pop-up window will open. Click on Browse
to find the file you want to attach.
D. Navigate to the location of the video file,
select it, and click “Open”.
D

On MEDIC: Navigate to the flash drive.

D

On another device (other than MEDIC):
Locate the file on the hard drive (or flash
drive).

E. The chosen file path will be displayed, as
shown. Click the “Upload” to attach the file to
the Techline case.
F. The file will be shown as attached. Click on
“Close” to go back to the Techline case.
G. From the Techline case, click on “Save” to save
the attachment to the case. Verify the file is
showing in the attachment section at the
bottom of the Techline case.
8. Contact Techline for assistance (1-800-446-6064).
9. Order the new engine assembly (209 restriction applies, must be released by MMNA).
