What's involved
What this repair actually is.
After repair or collision work, a technician scans all vehicle modules to confirm the repaired systems report no faults, clears codes set during the work, and verifies that monitors and systems have returned to normal operation. It's the documented proof that the vehicle left the repair in proper working order.
Symptoms

If you delay
Codes left over from repair work can hide brand-new faults and can turn safety systems off without an obvious warning.
