  • PERFORM NECESSARY DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND ADVISE:
  • FOUND: I inspected the vehicle and verified the client's concern that the check engine light is illuminated and there is no significant drivability issue present. I retrieved diagnostic trouble codes p0331 and p0447. Code p0331 indicates there is a circuit fault with the bank 2 knock sensor. The knock sensor is located below the lower plenum. Removal of the intake manifold for further inspection and repair will be required. I suspect there is damage from varmints to the harness. Code p0447 indicates there's a fault with a canister vent control valve. There is a section of the harness that is missing due to damage from varmints. Recommend removing the lower intake manifold to access the knock sensor harness for further inspection and repair. Recommend removing necessary interior vehicle components (drivers seat) in order to access the pass-through wiring harness to the vent control solenoid, performing necessary repairs to the harness and reinstalling the components.

  • PERFORM NECESSARY DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND ADVISE:
  • FOUND: The customer States that the check engine light came on with no obvious symptoms. The vehicle came in with DTC p2070 intake manifold tuning valve Bank One stuck open, p2006 intake manifold flap Bank 1 stuck closed, p2007 intake manifold flap 2 stuck closed, and p2404 evap leak detection pump send circuit implausible signal. Upon inspection I found a vacuum hose that goes to the intake manifold tuning valve was broken causing a vacuum leak on the EVAP system and causing the manifold tuning valve to not have sufficient vacuum to open the manifold flaps. I fixed the vacuum line and take it for a test drive. No codes came back at this time.

  • PERFORM NECESSARY DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND ADVISE:
  • FOUND: I inspected the vehicle and confirmed the client's concern that the check engine light is illuminated and there is no significant drivability issue present. I retrieved diagnostic trouble code P0420 which indicates the front catalytic converter efficiency is lower than anticipated. I test drove the vehicle monitoring the downstream oxygen sensor switch rate and found the switch rate is well above the maximum limit which indicates the catalytic converter no longer functions as designed. Replacement of the catalytic converter and related gaskets will be required.
