- CUSTOMER SAYS THE VEHICLE CUT OFF ON HER WHILE DRIVING. SOMEONE ELSE CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID THE CAMSHAFT "SHIFTED". SHE ALSO SAYS THAT SHE HAD AN OIL CHANGE FROM DRIVE AND SHINE AND THIS MORNING THERE WAS NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK SO SHE ADDED A QUART. FOUND CODES FOR EXHAUST CAM PERFORMANCE, CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND 3 HYBRID BATTERY FAULT CODES. THE CAM SOLENOID HAS FAILED. NEED TO REPLACE AND THEN SEE IF THE CONVERTER IS BAD OR NOT. VEHICLE IS OVERFILLED WITH OIL WHEN SHE CAME IN. FOUND AN OIL LEAK FROM THE OIL PAN. LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE TRIED TO PATCH THE OIL PAN WITH JB WELD AND OIL IS SEEPING THROUGH IT. RECOMMEND REPLACING THE OIL PAN.
- REPLACE EXHAUST CAMSHAFT SOLENOID
- NOTE – CATALYTIC CONVERTER SEEMS TO BE FINE AFTER THE REPAIR. THE CEL CAME BACK ON DUE TO THE HYBRID BATTERY CODES. HYBRID BATTERY AND TEMP SENSOR WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED
