vehicle requires additional repairs after the inspection process.
• Make sure to advise customers of potential vehicle down time and provide alternative transportation such as an
SRC or 3rd party rental.
▪ All customers that come in with P1326 or “Engine Protection Mode” should be provided an SRC or
alternative 3rd Party Rental. All SRC or Rental claims will be reimbursed regardless of PA’s
decision to cover the engine replacement.
• Do not charge diagnosis for vehicles that previously had campaign 966 performed and return to the dealership
in “Engine Protection Mode” or with DTC P1326.
Repair – Always plug in the GDS before starting the repair. Make sure to complete an MPI on all vehicles and
Quality Control your work.

replacement. Dealers will be compensated for this additional time and such steps may include connecting the
GDS to retrieve additional information from the vehicle.
