NHTSA ID Number: 10162003

Manufacturer Communication Number: B18070C

Summary

ServiceNews Article – Until recently, Tech Line had only two categories for auto idle stop system issues. That made it hard for our engineering staff to understand what was specifically inhibiting the system. To help with this, Tech Line has added more categories to match what’s listed in the service information. As a result, when calling them for an auto idle stop issue, you must now send a snapshot. Tech Line needs it for troubleshooting and won’t be able to help unless you do.

oemdtc Info Leave a Comment

NHTSA ID Number: 10162004

Manufacturer Communication Number: B19060B

Summary

ServiceNews Article – Some of the service information procedures involving removal and installation of fuel system and engine parts require removing and installing the fuel joint pipe. Keep in mind this is a must replace part, and it must never be reused. Furthermore, be sure to apply the polyethylene glycol lubricant from the replacement joint pipe kit and torque the joint pipe to spec. Failure to do these things will lead to fuel leaks (either right away or over time) that could result in a fire. And if that happens, your dealership will be responsible for any resulting injuries or property damage.
