-Scanned vehicle. -Found no faults related to issue. -Oil level was not reading until 20 minutes after checking. -Level sensor is failing. -Recommending replacing oil level sensor and performing an oil change then rechecking.
-NO WARRANTY on customer supplied parts. -Found left side tail light hard wired to right side tail light. -Traced problem to fuse #23 being burnt out, causing factory wiring to not work. -Removed all non OEM wiring and rewired correctly using the OEM harness. -Replaced fuse and found all lights working at this time. -Turn signals are flashing fast due to LED bulbs being used. LED bulbs do not carry the same current as an OEM bulb, tricking the car to think a light bulb is out. Fast flashing is used as a warning that a bulb is out. Recommending reverting to OEM bulbs. -Replaced tail light with customer supplied part due to original light housing being broken. -Recommending replacing housing and plug for passenger side light due to damage.
