1. Preparation
  • Tools Required: OBD-II scanner, socket set, multimeter, torque wrench.
  • Instructions:
    • Make sure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.

2. Address Error Codes
  • Instructions:
    • Connect the OBD-II scanner to the vehicle’s diagnostic port.
    • Retrieve error codes and document them for reference.
    • Clear the codes and see if the check engine light returns after a drive cycle.
3. Inspect and Replace Components
  • Gas Cap Inspection:

    • Remove the gas cap and inspect for cracks or damage.
    • Replace it if necessary, ensuring a proper seal when reattached.
  • Air Filter Replacement:

    • Locate the air filter housing.
