The vehicle (where a record says)

A record is under an engine, a drive or a series only where it says so: the characters of the vehicle identification number filed with a complaint, its text, or what its document says it applies to. A record that does not say is kept as "not stated". The filed numbers and the documents do not tell 4WD from AWD.

Common on this vehicle:Warning lightNoiseLeakGauge or instrument faultAir conditioning or heaterVibration or shudderLoss of engine power, no accelerationSeat belt

Record by record

35 records state a cause or a remedy. Each record is shown as short labels in the order fault → finding the cause → correction. Press a label to narrow to the records that state it.

Symptom

Component named as the cause

Work done

How it is said to have ended

  • says it came back2
  • says it did not fix it8
  • result not stated2

A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

    1. 1Fault

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • A variety of chemicals can cause crazing or cracking of the polycarbonate lens.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      • Broken mounting tabs, rear housing fractures and loose components inside the lamp assembly are evidence of impact damage.

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      • When servicing any exterior lighting assembly, transfer any electrical connection seals to the new part.

      Caution

      • Clean exterior lamps and lenses only with lukewarm or cold water, a soft cloth and a car washing soap.
      • Do not let a shop mat or fender cover drape over a headlamp while the DRL or headlamps are on; the lens may craze or deform.

    Exterior Lamp Condensation and Water Leaks Service Bulletin

    1. 1Fault

      • Exterior lamps such as cornering, turn signal, backup, head or tail lamps may show very small water droplets, a fine mist or white fog (condensation) on the inside of the lens.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • Condensation occurs when the air inside the lamp assembly reaches the dew point through atmospheric changes.
      • Non-OE lamps are most often presented as holding moisture or with inoperative bulbs from corroded electrical connections; they appear to be installed as part of a collision repair.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. Normal: the mist is located mainly in the lens corners near the vents and does not cover more than half the lens surface.
      2. Normal: the moisture clears when the vehicle is parked in a dry environment or driven with the lights on.
      3. Leak: water has accumulated in the bottom of the lamp assembly.
      4. Leak: the condition will not clear when the vehicle is parked in a dry environment or driven with the lights on.

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      • A condition covering more than half the surface of the lamp lens indicates the need to service the lens or lamp assembly.

      Caution

      • Depending on the lamp and the atmospheric conditions, the time needed to clear the lamp may vary from 2 to 6 hours.
      • If the normal conditions are noted, advise the customer that replacing the lamp assembly may not correct the condition.
      • Moisture that "comes and goes" is considered a normal condition.
