Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and parts necessary for repairs.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety during inspection.
  • Gather required tools: OBD-II scanner, socket set, multimeter, and vacuum gauge.
2. Address Fault Codes
  • Connect the OBD-II scanner and retrieve the stored fault codes.
  • Document the codes and research the specific issues related to each.
  • Clear the codes and monitor if they reappear after test driving the vehicle.
3. Inspect and Replace Components
  • Gas Cap Inspection

    • Remove the gas cap and inspect for cracks or wear.
    • Replace with a new gas cap if damaged.
  • Air Filter Replacement

    • Open the air filter housing and remove the old filter.
    • Insert a new air filter ensuring a proper seal.
  • Examine Exhaust System

    • Inspect all exhaust components for rust, holes, or loose connections.
    • Repair or replace any damaged sections of the exhaust system.
4. Check Engine Oil
  • Remove the oil dipstick and wipe it clean.
  • Reinsert and remove to check oil level; add oil if low.
  • If oil appears dirty, perform an oil change.
5. Battery and Charging System Test
  • Use a multimeter to check the battery voltage (should be around 12.6 volts).
  • Start the engine and check voltage again (should read between 13.7 and 14.7 volts).
  • Replace battery or alternator if readings are outside specifications.
