Vehicle repaired under factory warranty 2013 Chevy Cruze
Real Concern with vehicle MIL On
Cause for MIL ON : Vehicle used as test vehicle for Voltage drop testing and battery load testing of battery and charging system. Fuses 7-8 removed to disable engine from starting ( injector fuses 1-4)
Low voltage DTC caused by testing drove Battery voltage below 10.volts. Injector open circuit low voltage caused by fuse removal. ECM replaced. Based on GM's testing procedure which does not require PCM replacement for the codes listed state to test charging system and battery and verify proper system voltage. These factory required test's were not performed due to the tech's incompetence of following the diag procedure laid out by GM ( after all they built the car should have a good idea on how to test it) and his lack of resourcing to repair the vehicle the proper way.
I am seeing more and more of this incompetence as my generation retires out of the business, does anyone have any idea where to find like minded people like we were who really like cars and understands how they function? Or are we doomed to a generation that if the computer don't say it we can't fix it. Kinda like trying to get change for a dollar and have the clerk not look at the screen for the change. Damn we are in trouble on trying to keep the fleet running as we all retire ... DAMN
