Inspection And Verification
CAUTION:
Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT
acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not guarantee confirmation of a fault and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being checked and/or the donor vehicle
NOTE:
- If the control module or a component is suspect and the vehicle remains under manufacturer warranty, refer to the warranty policy and procedures manual (B1.2), or determine if any prior approval program is in operation, prior to the installation of a new module/component
- Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests
- Verify the customer concern
- Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage
