SERVICE INFORMATION
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.
Relevant additional information can be found in the "Supplement" column to assist with the repair.
Report any errors in the test plans by using the ISTA diagnosis feedback button.
