What Can Go Wrong Diagnostic

This client came in with a few misfires on her 2023 Nissan Epower Note (Hybrid). The vehicle was taken to a nearby service shop who stated that they are equipped and are professionally trained to work on hybrids.

The client went in for an oil change and service (throttle body, oil and filters, etc). After the customer left the shop, fault lights appeared on the instrument panel and the car started to lose power. Now, some may say what could have happened between entering the service shop and leaving on a tow truck. Basically, the shop decided to go beyond and remove all of the injectors to service them (which was never done)and end up bending all of the injectors tips causes misfires. The vehicle carries 2 injectors per cylinder so its going to be a costly fix for this customer. This is why I am so serious about getting the necessary training or to train others so things like this can be avoided.

A set of new injectors will be installed and the hybrid battery has to be removed from the vehicle to be recharged. This is the fix for this case study.
