We visually inspected the underside of the vehicle and found that the oil filter housing gasket is leaking. This is causing oil to run along the pan and down. We recommend replacing the oil filter housing gasket, cleaning up the pan area really well and reinspecting for leaks after.

We first scanned for codes and confirmed that there is a P0430 catalyst efficiency below threshold. We then put the vehicle up on a rack and checked O2 sensor wiring and condition and found no obvious fault. We also measured the inlet and outlet temperature of the catalytic converter and found that the outlet temperature is below normal. We then test drove the vehicle and monitored live data on the scan tool and found that the catalyst efficiency is poor. Based on these tests it confirms that the catalytic converter on bank 2 is faulty. We recommend replacing the catalytic converter.

Scanned for codes, no codes present. Found coolant reservoir empty, filled and pressure tested, holding pressure. Inspected cooling system and found a lot of tracing coming from the water pump, also noticed tracing on a rubber cap on the t-stat housing. Performed a block test and passed. Let vehicle sit with pressure and found the water pump began to leak. Recommend replacing the waterpump with a seal/O-ring kit, t-stat and the rubber cap. NOTE…. hoses are not leaking but appear original. After repair, test drove and no other coolant leaks found.

WATER PUMP – Remove & Replace
A rubber cap was installed on the thermostat housing. This is normal but they crack because of the heat. We are going to modify this problem by installing a pipe threader and being abler to secure a metal cap to solve this problem.
