diag
The computer must re-learn a stop or a sensor after a battery or a throttle cleaning.
Say · If they cleaned the throttle, a relearn is part of the job — not a second ticket.
A new ETB quoted because nobody did the relearn is a common miss.
tires
Tire-pressure sensors. Service kits (stems) at every tire job are a shop habit; batteries die with age.
Say · Which corner failed, and is it the sensor or a leak?
Four new sensors because one battery died is a parts cannon unless they are all 8–10 years old and you agree.
