    • Scanned vehicle for related faults and found: 002EFE Combustion misfires, several cylinders, detected Absent 002EFF Cylinder 1 combustion misfire, detected Absent 002F02 Cylinder 4 combustion misfire, detected Absent 002F00 Cylinder 2 combustion misfire, detected Absent 002EE2 Combustion misfiring, several cylinders, damaging exhaust gas after starting up Absent 002EE6 Cylinder 1 combustion misfire, damaging exhaust gas after starting up Absent 002EF0 Cylinder 4 combustion misfire, damaging exhaust gas after starting up Absent 002EE9 Cylinder 2 combustion misfire, damaging exhaust gas after starting up Absent 002F01 Cylinder 3 combustion misfire, detected Absent 002EEC Cylinder 3 combustion misfire, damaging exhaust gas after starting up Absent We determined that the spark plugs were the cause of the misfire. We also noted that there was an intermittent code stored for the high pressure fuel system, pressure too low at engine start. This could also cause a cold start misfire symptom but during our testing we did not experience any issue with the fuel system. >>Recommend monitor for symptoms and report back if issue reoccurs.
    • Change engine oil and oil filter. Perform basic safety inspection. Lubricate and check chassis. Check air filter and cabin filter. Check all fluid levels and tire pressures. Road test vehicle. Check for additional needed services and clear service reminder as needed.

    • We inspected and found that the battery was below 11 volts. We jump started the engine and noticed that the starter motor turns slower than normal which likely indicates that the starter motor bearings and brushes/armature and worn. We checked the charging system – OK. We sent the car to sleep and found that there was roughly a 150 millamp draw. >>Need additional time to diagnose the cause of the battery drain.
    • We charged the battery and set the car up for a battery drain diagnosis. We found a 140-160 millamp draw. We used an amp hound to check all testable fuses and found fuse F4 with a 70 milliamp draw. Wiring diagrams show that this fuse only supplies the Body Basic/General module. We removed the fuse but the draw did not go away. We disassembled the air filter housing to access the maxi fuse panel and engine compartment fuse panels. We found that the air filter was black with dirt and grime. We traced the power going into the maxi fuse panel. We did not find any fuses with a draw with the amp hound. We used an amp clamp and identified a red/yellow wire with 80 milliamps. We traced the wire back to connector X4009. The wiring diagrams indicate that this is another large battery power wire for the General module. >>We suspect that there may be an internal issue with the General module. This small of an amp draw would usually take a few weeks to cause a battery to drain to the point of not being able to crank the engine. This draw has repeatedly depleted the battery little by little to the point to where the battery is aged and should be replace. A new battery will treat the symptom but will need replacing again before its normal interval. >>The general module is no longer available and replacing with a used module is not an option due to the VIN being written into the module. >>Need to access the general module and manually test each wire for amperage in order to determine if the issue is the module or one of the circuits fed by the module. There are about 100 wires to test. Our conversation with the client turned up an issue with the alarm going off randomly. We removed the alarm siren and disconnected it and reinstalled it. When we went to retest the system for a draw we found that the battery voltage had fallen from 12.4 volts to 10.1 volts just a couple minutes later without us using any power. We tested the battery again and discovered a faulty cell. >>We replaced the battery under warranty, reset electrical systems and rechecked for a battery draw and found only 20 milliamps which indicates that the alarm siren is the cause of the draw.
    • Found that the battery has an intermittent issue with one of the cells not working properly. The voltage would decrease suddenly by 1.2 volts which is consistent with one cell being faulty.
