Confirmed the customer's complaint and found the engine did not start. Performed an inspection of the ignition system and found no faults. Connected an inline spark tester to a spark plug, cranked the engine and found the lamp illuminated brightly. Inspected the air intake system and detected no obvious faults. Connected a smoke machine to the engine intake manifold, induced smoke into the system and found no leaks. Connected a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel pump outlet, cranked the engine and found the fuel pressure was not present. Removed the fuel pump from fuel tank, visually inspected the fuel pump and found the fuel pump testing good. Removed and test fuel pump on the engine bay. Fuel pump on engine bay also tested good. Connected a battery charger to the battery and charged the battery. Used a battery conductance tester to test the battery, and found that the battery was able to conduct the specified amount of current, which verified that it was good. Connected a scan tool, attempted to retrieve diagnostic trouble codes and found the powertrain control module did not communicate. Performed an inspection of the powertrain control module wiring harness and connector and detected no obvious faults. Disconnected the powertrain control module connector, inspected the connector and connector terminals and found no faults. With the ignition on and the engine off, used a multi-meter to check for the presence of voltage and ground at the powertrain control module connector and found both were present. Using the multi-meter, measured the resistance of the powertrain control module communication circuits and found the resistance was within the specified range. The results of these tests verified the powertrain control module was faulty.

Confirmed the customer's complaint and heard a clicking noise when the vehicle was turned. Raised the vehicle on a hoist and performed an inspection of the constant velocity (CV) joints. Found the dust boots were damaged. Upon further inspection, found the CV joints were making noise internally when turning on both sides in the front. The CV joints are integrated into the axle shafts and are replaced as an entire unit.

Confirmed the customer's complaint and found the air conditioning was inoperative. With the engine at idle and the air conditioning switched to maximum cool, observed the air conditioning compressor clutch was not engaged. Visually inspected the air conditioning system wiring and connections, but found no obvious faults. Connected an air conditioning manifold gauge set to the high and low pressure service ports to test the air conditioning system pressure and found the system pressures were equalized at 0 PSI. The lack of air conditioning refrigerant pressure indicated a refrigerant leak was present in the system. Visually inspected the air conditioning system and found no obvious signs of a refrigerant leak. Pressurized the air conditioning system with a fluorescent dye, used an ultraviolet light to check for the presence of a leak and found the air conditioning compressor had leaked from a seam on the compressor, which confirmed the air conditioning compressor was faulty.

Observed the engine coolant temperature gauge and found the engine coolant temperature exceeded allowable specifications. With the scan tool connected to monitor live data, found the engine coolant temperature was above specified operating temperature. Performed a visual inspection of the engine cooling system and found the engine coolant recovery reservoir was empty. After engine cool down removed the cap from the coolant recovery reservoir, topped up the coolant recovery reservoir and installed an engine cooling system pressure tester. Applied pressure to the reservoir and found the reservoir leaked engine coolant. These test results verified the engine coolant recovery reservoir was faulty.

Connected a scan tool and found codes: P0155 – O2 Sensor Heater Circuit (Bank 2 Sensor 1). Started the engine, increased the engine speed to 2,000 RPM while the scan tool was used to monitor the live data and found the oxygen sensor (B2-S1) was slow to respond. Performed a visual inspection of the fuses and relays, and found no obvious faults. Inspected the oxygen sensor (B2-S1) wiring harness and found no evidence of any damage. Disconnected the oxygen sensor (B2-S1) harness connector, inspected the harness connector and the terminals and found no obvious faults. Key on, used a multi-meter to check for the presence of battery voltage and ground at the oxygen sensor (B2-S1) harness connector and found both were present. Used the multi-meter to measure the resistance of the oxygen sensor (B2-S1) heater element at the oxygen sensor (B2-S1) connector and found the measured resistance was not within the specifications. The results of these tests verified the oxygen sensor (B2-S1) was faulty. Used the scan tool to monitor the live data with the engine at idle and found the mass airflow sensor parameter was below the specified range of 6-12 grams per second. Inspected the mass airflow sensor wiring harness and connector, but found no concerns. With the key on, engine off, used a multi-meter to check for the specified 12 volts and ground at the mass airflow sensor connector and found both were present. Removed the mass airflow sensor for inspection and found the mass airflow sensor was contaminated with debris. Inspected the fuel system and found no concerns. Connected a smoke machine to the air intake system, induced smoke into the system to check for leaks and found no smoke leaked. Performed a visual inspection of the throttle body and found excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body. Also recommend doing a fuel injector cleaning.

Connected a scan tool and found codes: P0131 – O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 1 Sensor 1); P0171 – System Too Lean (Bank 1) and P1101 – Intake Air Flow System Performance. Performed a road test with the scan tool connected, cleared the code, monitored the live data and found the short term and long term fuel trims were out of specifications. Performed a thorough inspection of the air intake system and found no apparent faults. Connected a smoke machine to the air intake system, induced smoke into the system and found when the oil fill cap was removed smoke exited the valve cover opening. The positive crankcase ventilation valve assembly is integrated into the valve cover and is replaced as an entire unit. The results of these tests verified the valve cover is faulty. Performed a visual inspection of the throttle body and found excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body. Used the scan tool to command the EVAP purge solenoid valve and the EVAP canister vent solenoid closed for the smoke test and found no signs of smoke, which indicated no external leaks were present. Continued to inspect the EVAP system by removing the vacuum source hose from the EVAP purge solenoid valve and observed smoke emitted from the EVAP purge solenoid valve, which indicated it leaked. Attached a vacuum pump to the EVAP purge solenoid valve and tested the valve by applying vacuum. The EVAP purge solenoid valve leaked and did not retain the applied vacuum. The results of these tests verified the EVAP purge solenoid valve was faulty.
