Verification of the vehicle repair will be more comprehensive for vehicles with On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) system diagnostics. Following a repair, the technician should perform these steps:
CAUTION:
Follow the steps below when you verify repairs on OBD II systems. Failure to follow these steps could result in unnecessary repairs.
- Review and record the Failure Records and the Freeze Frame data for the DTC which has been diagnosed (Freeze Fame data will only be stored for an A or B type diagnostic and only if the MIL has been requested).
- Clear the DTC(s).
- Operate the vehicle within conditions noted in the Failure Records and Freeze Frame data.
- Monitor the DTC status information for the specific DTC which has been diagnosed until the diagnostic test associated with that DTC runs.
