SITUATION
Analysis of FASTA data and repeat repair visit reports indicates that there are many fault codes that are stored in
the above vehicles, but they are not diagnosed to identify their root cause.
Fault codes that are not diagnosed to find their root cause can lead to a repeat repair visit to the workshop by the
customer.
Where diagnosis (vehicle or short test) with ISTA has already started, it is important to diagnose the fault code(s)
listed below (when they are stored in the vehicle) during the current workshop visit. This will help lead to a

reduction in workshop repeat repair visits and higher customer satisfaction.
PROCEDURE
The following list of fault codes has been identified as causing repeat customer repair visits. The fault codes
should be diagnosed when they are found stored in the vehicle after performing a vehicle or short test.
The test plan is to be completed and its recommendations followed to properly repair the vehicle.
Relevant additional information can be found in the “Supplement” column to assist with the repair.
Report any errors in the test plans by using the ISTA diagnosis feedback button.
