Vacuum system for 90 minutes to remove any moisture. Fill system to capacity with new esther oil, dye, and refrigerant. Clean condenser fins and inlet and outlet air passages. Run engine to operating temperature and monitor system pressures. Check the operation of the condenser fan, blend door, and check and verify vent temperatures. Check for leaks using dye detection light and insure that all system components are dry. No leaks are present at this time. If the system performance decreases, the customer should return for additional leak testing.
Install data scanner and engine analyzer. Run tests on the fuel, ignition, and computer control systems. Retrieve fault codes from the processors memory. Codes exist in the system for >>>>>>>>>>>>>.

Replace Wiper Blades
Road test vehicle and check for brake pulsation, brake noise, wheel alignment pull, steering wheel centering, suspension stability, tire balance condition, transmission shifting and or clutch engagement, and engine performance concerns. Visually inspect tires for wear resulting from alignment, or balance problems. Check front and rear suspension components for wear at all visible bushings, pivots, sockets, and joints. Check the condition of all drive belts, radiator hoses, heater hoses, brake hoses, and verify level and condition of engine coolant is good. Check engine, transmission, final drive, and differentials for any oil leaks. Check CV drive axle boots for cracks or tears. Check ignition system components consisting of plugs, ignition wires, coils, and or cap and rotor if applicable. Check exhaust system fittings, clamps, and gaskets for leaks or damage and verify condition and levels of power steering fluid, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and differential or final drive fluid. Test all vehicle exterior lights for illumination, turn signal operation, and emergency flasher operation. Hook vehicles components to the VAT45 digital analyzer. Perform a full electrical system diagnostic including a complete analysis of starting and charging system components; vehicle battery (connections and cables), alternator output (belt tension and condition), and starter operation.

Remove the rear drive shaft from the vehicle, and clean the external joint components to access the retaining hardware. Remove the retaining rings and press the U joint from the drive shaft, and or yokes bore. Hone the bores to remove corrosion and rust so that the surface is round ensuring no extra pressure is on the replacement U joints bearing caps. Verify correct phasing of the shaft, and press the new joint assembly into the shaft and or yoke installing new retaining clips. Reinstall the shaft onto the vehicle and lubricate the replacement U joint. Check and top off transmission and or transfer case fluid as required due to fluid loss during disassembly. Torque the drive shaft retainer bolts to specification and road test the vehicle to check for noise and vibration caused by the U joints.
Remove the four tires from the vehicle, and clean the wheel studs, hub flanges, and the rims centric. Check the vehicles braking system components for wear, remaining brake material, and signs of pending issues. Reinstall the tires onto the vehicle in their best suited locations based on overall wear, torquing all lugs to factory specification. Inflate all tires to the manufacturers suggested pressure, and visually assess the tread for abnormal wear which may indicate a need for a wheel alignment. Reset the vehicles tire pressure monitor sensor locations where required, using the factory approved TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring) system, scan tool. Road test the vehicle and confirm there is no abnormal handling characteristics following the rotation. Note: Some vehicles may have a slight drift following a tire rotation. This is due to a pattern that developes in some tires due to excessive time in one location. This condition should improve as the tread conforms to the new location / alignment angle. If drifting would not improve, sometimes an alignment or a cross rotation is required.
Perform Full Brake Bleeding Procedure w/Data Scanner For ABS System.
