Confirmed the customer's complaint and found the battery light was on. Visually inspected the starter and battery wiring harness but found no faults. Engine running, used a multi-meter to measure the alternator output and recorded 9.5 volts, which was below the specified value of 14.6 volts. Tested the battery with a battery load tester and found the battery had failed. Charged the battery at low charge for about an hour, performed a battery test again, and found the battery passed the test. The results of these tests indicated the alternator was defective.
REMOVE ALL NECESSARY COMPONENTS TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE ALTERNATOR AND DRIVE BELT. REMOVE AND REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND SERPENTINE/DRIVE BELT. REINSTALL ALL REMOVED COMPONENTS, ENSURE PROPER BELT ROUTING AND TENSION, AND TORQUE ALL FASTENERS TO MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS. TEST CHARGING SYSTEM OPERATION AND VERIFY PROPER VOLTAGE OUTPUT AND BELT PERFORMANCE BEFORE COMPLETING THE REPAIR.

CONFIRMED CUSTOMER’S COMPLAINT REGARDING ROUGH ENGINE OPERATION. CONNECTED A SCAN TOOL AND FOUND CODES: P0202 – INJECTOR CIRCUIT/OPEN – CYLINDER 2 AND P0302 – CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE DETECTED. INSPECTED THE FUEL INJECTOR WIRING AND CONNECTOR AND FOUND NO VISIBLE FAULTS. PERFORMED FUNCTIONAL TESTING OF THE FUEL INJECTOR, WHICH INDICATED IT IS OPERATING NORMALLY. CHECKED FOR PROPER VOLTAGE AND GROUND AT THE CONNECTOR AND BOTH WERE PRESENT. MEASURED RESISTANCE OF THE FUEL INJECTOR; RESULTS WERE INCONCLUSIVE. AT THIS TIME, WE ARE NOT CERTAIN THAT THE INJECTOR IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE, ONLY THAT IT IS A POSSIBLE SUSPECT. PERFORMED A COMPRESSION TEST ON THE ENGINE AND FOUND COMPRESSION TO BE WITHIN SPECIFICATION. HOWEVER, THERE IS STILL A POSSIBILITY OF AN INTERNAL ENGINE ISSUE THAT MAY NOT BE DETECTABLE THROUGH A BASIC COMPRESSION TEST. FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING IS RECOMMENDED TO CONFIRM THE EXACT SOURCE OF THE MISFIRE.
