Trouble code P0597-00 indicates an Engine Coolant Thermostat, Cooling system error. But what is the fix when the coolant level and condition show no faults? An infrared thermometer is used to identify temperature below specification in the housing inlet and outlet. This communicates an opening is present, so the next steps are to verify the faulty part and replace it.
With the initial warning brake light on, it was clear some mechanism within the electric parking brake was causing the illumination. Using a scan tool, the code U1219 highlighted the permanent fault that the automatic release was experiencing. By leveraging live data monitored on the scan tool, it was found that the parking brake switch data and the pressing of the switch were not in sync. Continue reading this real fix for the remedy and part replacement procedure.
Even with a DTC indicating low engine oil, the fix is not always apparent on the surface level. This 2019 Stelvio had an oil-level sensor signal wire exhibiting erratic signals to the lab scope. The sensor was proved to be the true culprit of the P250F trouble code. Read the full real fix to learn the proper diagnostic steps to take.
This 2018 Opel Vauxhall Insignia presented a mysterious fault code corresponding to the accelerator pedal position sensor voltage. Monitoring live data presented from the scan tool, allowed the technician to see that the signal parameter was intermittently dropping out. But the enigma persisted after further testing, as no loose connections or signs of damage were found. Continue reading this real fix to discover the diagnosis that lead to the fix.
Initially the Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve (EGR) on this 2019 Opel/Vauxhall Vivaro indicated a parameter mismatch on the scan tool between the actual and desired valve position, yet no signs of damage was apparent on the connector and terminals. After further diagnosis, the EGR measured proper specifications but it wasn’t until the “hood was opened” to reveal the real culprit of carbon clogging the valve.
The real fix on this 2019 Peugeot Boxer’s NOx sensor began diagnostic testing with a scan tool to identify proper specifications for the signal compared to the actual signal omitting from the NOx. With the signal parameter above specifications but with present voltage, no damage or short, the community came to the conclusion that the sensor itself was faulty and was able to quickly return the vehicle to safe operating condition after the replacement.
A 2019 Ford Fiesta was showing signs of a fault in the anti-lock brake system, so the customer brought the vehicle into the shop. With the help of the SureTrack community, the faulty part was quickly identified and replaced, restoring the vehicle to optimal driving conditions. Continue reading to learn the diagnostic steps performed and the necessary tools for the job.
After the customer noticed a check engine light, they brought their 2019 Audi Q5 into the shop. The SureTrack community helped identify the proper course of action. The diagnostic process called for the use of a scan tool, multi-meter and lab scope to uncover the faulty turbocharger pressure sensor.
A check engine light illuminated on this 2020 Volkswagen Golf 1.5L Petrol, causing the owner to bring their vehicle in for repair. An error code for the EVAP System was identified using a scan tool. Live data monitoring showed the EVAP canister control valve parameter was out of specification. Commanding the valve on with the scan tool revealed it was inoperative. A visual inspection found no visible faults. Continue reading this real fix posted to the SureTrack community for further testing with a multi-meter and jumper wires confirming the faulty state of the EVAP canister control valve.
A customer rolled into the shop with a check engine light on their 2018 Renault Trafic 1.6 Diesel vehicle. By monitoring the live data provided by a scan tool, found the exhaust gas recirculation valve parameter was erratic. Read the real fix posted to the SureTrack community to discover the tests that were performed to verify the faulty part for replacement.
