STEP	INSPECTION	ACTION
1	RECORD VEHICLE STATUS AT TIME OF DTC DETECTION TO UTILIZE WITH REPEATABILITY VERIFICATION Note • Recording can be facilitated using the screen capture function of the PC. • Record the snapshot data on the repair order.	—	Go to the next step.
2	VERIFY RELATED SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY • Verify related Service Information availability. • Is any related Service Information available?	Yes	Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available Service Information. • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No	Go to the next step.
3	REPLACE ENGINE OIL • Replace the specified engine oil. (See ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].)	—	Perform the “ENGINE OIL DATA RESET”, then go to the next step. (See ENGINE OIL DATA RESET [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].)
4	VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED • Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS. (See CLEARING DTC [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].) • Start the engine and warm it up completely. Caution • While performing this step, always operate the vehicle in a safe and lawful manner. • When the M-MDS is used to observe monitor system status while driving, be sure to have another technician with you, or record the data in the M-MDS using the PID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD capturing function and inspect later. • Drive the vehicle under the FREEZE FRAME DATA/snapshot data condition. • Perform the DTC Reading Procedure. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].) • Is the same DTC present?	Yes	Replace the PCM, then go to the next step. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].)
No	Go to the next step.
