Verifying Vehicle Repair

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Suzuki Swift +, 2008 Pontiac Wave, and 2008 Chevrolet Aveo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Verification of the vehicle repair will be more comprehensive for vehicles with on-board diagnostic (EOBD) system diagnostics. Following a repair, the technician should perform these steps:

IMPORTANT: Follow the steps below when you verify repairs on EOBD 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 DTCs.
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.
