Pinpoint Test S: Verification Drive Test (Part 2 Of 2):

PURPOSE

This drive test will be used when either of the two conditions listed below exists.

1. Required Service Verification

This drive procedure will be used after all vehicle service. Once a vehicle has been serviced, it is necessary to verify the service by driving the vehicle. This is because the anti-lock electronic control module is unable to detect some system concerns until the vehicle is being driven a certain way. Therefore the drive verification test is a very important step.
2. Symptom Evaluation Drive

When a vehicle is brought to the dealer, the customer might have only a general concern about the way his or her vehicle is braking. In these situations there might not be a clear system concern to troubleshoot. In this type of situation, this drive test is designed to produce common system concern symptoms. Use this drive test to determine a symptom. Once a symptom is found, a symptom troubleshooting procedure can be followed to service the vehicle.
