Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools: OBD-II scanner, socket set, multimeter, fuel pressure gauge.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is turned off.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.
2. Addressing Error Codes
  • Connect the OBD-II scanner to the vehicle's port and retrieve stored error codes.
  • Document the codes for reference, and research potential fixes for each identified issue.
3. Inspect and Replace Components

A. Gas Cap
