Services Performed
- CEL is on. Faults for fuel trim system too lean, secondary air injection. Vehicle runs a little rough on start up, but smooths out after a minute. Cleared faults and the fuel trim system faults came back. Inspected and cleaned air mass meter. The sensor seemed to also be broken as one of the cover plates is coming off. Replaced air mass meter and vehicle still runs rough for about 10-15 seconds and then it smooths out. CEL is on. Customer was advised of issue and was told if it were to get worse to bring vehicle back to have another look.
- Both headlights have one or two bulbs that do not work. Remove headlights and inspect each bulb. Found each headlight has a burnt bulb. The headlight mounting brackets are both broken and the headlights were just screwed into the brackets. They'll hold, but new mounting brackets are needed. The turn signal/running light bulb has a burn mark on the glass. Needs a bulb. The low beam on the driver side headlight does not work with a new bulb. Possibly faulty wiring within the headlight itself, although the wiring looks good just from an inspection. Recommend to replace headlight and bracket.
- Oil is leaking from the top down. Oil pan is dented and scraped and possibly could have a small pin hole from where something impacted the pan. Recommend to start with valve cover as it is the highest point where oil is leaking from and also to replace the damaged oil pan.
- Replace valve cover
- Replace oil pan
