Inspected vehicle and found a no start condition, accessories will come on but vehicle drive is not ready. Scanned for DTCs and found code P0AC4 for Hybrid Powertrain Control Module. Cleared code and found that vehicle operated normally on a short road test. Tested 12v battery and found that the battery needs replacement due to a failed test. Recommending replacement of the 12v battery and going for a long road teat to verify customer complaint is gone.

The extension housing gasket is leaking. We also have found oil all over the front timing cover gasket and oil pan gasket. We also have found the transmission oil pan gasket leaking for sure. What we recommend is replacing the extension housing seal and changing the oil. Then perform a transmission service and filter change. After these repairs, have the engine completely pressure washed top AND bottom. Bring the vehicle back so we can put a dye in the engine oil and determine the other leaks.

We were able to get the vehicle to long crank. We scanned the computer and found no codes present at this time. We then started to inspect the engine area and found that the fuel filter primer head was leaking. We began to remove the head of the primer and smelled gasoline! Upon further inspection we have determined that there is gasoline in the fuel tank. We need to install a new fuel primer kit, drain the fuel tank, install some diesel fuel, and retest. Note: the leaking primer most likely saved you from engine and injector damage.

Scanned and found code P0522 engine oil pressure sensor circuit signal low. Back probed the sensor connector and no voltage or ground is present. Followed the harness deep into the engine valley and found a connector unplugged. Plugged the connector back in and cleared codes. The instrument cluster now reads oil pressure. Note the voltage gauge is not reading, but the battery light is not on and used a multimeter and the alternator is charging 14.1 volts.

We found that the transmission cooler lines are not even attached to the transmission cooler. We then saw that a rubber hose was run from one line to another and connected with double hose clamps on both ends. Bypassing the entire transmission cooler. The condensor has the transmission cooler built into it. What we know is that the lines are not hooked up to the condensor and that the condensor also looks like it was never replaced. We need to remove the grill and upper plastic cowls in order to gain access to the condensor so we can advise of further repairs.

We removed the door panel to gain access to the window motor. We found that the window will only go down and intermittently not go up. We then checked for power and ground at the motor and found when the switch is pulled to the up position there is no power. We then traced it back to the switch and found the same result. These tests prove the driver master switch is faulty. We recommend replacing the driver master window switch.

We first checked the vehicle for a crank and no start problem and found that the battery was dead. We then charged the battery and we where able to verify that the engine would crank but would not start. We then scanned for codes and found P0689 ignition relay feed back circuit low, and P1682 ignition 1 switch circuit 2. We then found a bad connection in the fuse box internally. We soldered the poor connection and installed the fuse box. We then connected the battery and heard a fuse blow. The fuse was for the switched power the the ecm. We then pulled the engine harness away from the engine and found a sharp edge on the cylinder head that the harness was chafing against and cut into the harness and shorted the power wire for the ecm. We then repaired the harness and wrapped that portion of the harness with a gard to protect the harness from chafing again. We then replaced the fuse, cleared the DTCs, and test drove the. Vehicle for 7 miles and found no further problems at this time.
