Tested battery and battery has 11 volts but only 100cca. Need to charge then retest battery to determine health. Also noticed the negative wire and terminal are corroded causing a bad connection, someone has also attempted to repair the wires going to the positive terminal. Recommend peeling the insulation of the wires back to determine if the entire wire needs to be replaced from the corrosion or we can repair the wire with need eyelids and marine terminals. To start. After repairing wires and installing eyelids with new terminals. Vehicle now starts. Performed a post charging system test and passed. Charging 14.0 volts unloaded and 13.9 volts loaded. Checked oil and coolant level and okay at this time.
Peel wiring back and determine if the cabling is okay. Then replace the eye lids and terminal as required.

We were able to confirm the concern while on a test drive with the customer. This light that is coming on is an emergency braking light and has to do with the front facing Laser/Radar. The light on the center of the dash is the programmed sensitivity of the radar. We pulled codes and found a C1A16- Radar blocked and a C10B7 which does not give us a description. Based on service data we have found that the ICC sensor is a common issue with these vehicles however we do not posses the systems to properly replace, reprogram, and align the new sensor. You can manually turn off the emergency braking system however it will turn back on with every key cycle. Once turned off the light on the ride side of the dash will stay illuminated indicating that the system is off.

Looked at system and is a drive by wire system, No throttle cable. Performed a code scan and No codes present, all monitors passed. Checked the throttle blade for excessive play, throttle blade has no play. Test drove vehicle and could not replicate concern. If there was a problem it would set a check engine light.

Confirmed no start. Used jumper pack to start vehicle. While vehicle was running checked charging system. System is charging at 14.5v. Charging system is okay. Tested battery. Battery failed the test. Battery CCA spec is 550 and it wouldn't measure any CCA from battery. Recommend replacement of battery and retesting system afterwards. Battery terminals look fairly new and tight. Recommend rechecking after battery replacement to correctness.
Oil is close to minimum level. Lifted vehicle up and inspected for leaks. Found the top end of the engine dry. And found oil pressure sensor to be leaking, oil filter adapter gasket is leaking, and engine oil pan is leaking as well. Power steering rack is covered in oil. Looks like engine oil. Recommend power washing the undercarriage of the front of the vehicle after repairs to ensure no more leaks are present. Recommend replacement oil pressure sender, oil filter housing gasket, and replacement of oil pan gasket/reseal oil pan with silicone.

After visually inspecting the power steering system we found that the pump was over filled with fluid. We then found that even with the correct amount of fluid the pump is still making noise. We also found that a repair was attempted on one of the power steering lines by cutting a rubber hose out and hose clamping a new one in its place. At this time we do not believe the steering rack is leaking but we will not know for sure until the reapir is made. We are recommending replacing the power steering pump because it is humming, serpentine belt because it is cracking, and both pressure and return lines due to the previous repair attempts.

Found coolant level is slightly low topped off with water and pressure tested to 15 psi. Noticed cooling hoses appear original. Checked engine oil and is full and no evidence of coolant at this time. Lifted vehicle and noticed red fluid on the sub frame, inspected further and found that the power steering pump is leaking. Also noticed a couple drops of orange fluid on the engine oil pan, followed the trace marks to the weep hole for the water pump. Water pump is beginning to leak. Water pump is driven by the timing chain. Due to the mileage the engine will need to be replaced with power steering pump and install kit.
