Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts.
  • Tools Required: OBD-II scanner, multimeter, socket set, fuel pressure gauge.
2. Battery Inspection and Replacement
  • a. Check battery voltage with a multimeter; it should read above 12.4 volts.
  • b. Clean battery terminals and ensure a tight connection.
  • c. If voltage is low, replace the battery with one that meets OEM specifications.
3. Fuel System Service
