- The CEL was flashing, and the vehicle went into limp mode.
- Technicians verified the issue and found the engine locked up, with severe scoring in cylinder 1 and an excessive amount of fuel in the same cylinder.
- With the vehicle off, upper injector 1 was found stuck open, causing the engine to hydro-lock.
- Cylinder 1 connecting rod was bent, resulting in excessive scoring in the cylinder wall and damage to the crankshaft journal.
- Technicians replaced the long block and all applicable hardware.
- After replacement, they found the motor starter worn out due to the engine lock, performed a misfire relearn, cleared DTCs, and reset the KAM.
- Upon inspection, they also found the PCM unresponsive with the CEL back on.
- DTC P21CF was found, leading to the replacement of upper injector 1; however, the code returned, so the PCM was replaced and programmed per technical support.
- After the engine replacement, the starter became inoperative due to engine hydro lock, leading to its replacement.
- During a road test, technicians found the steering wheel off-centre to the right and performed a front wheel alignment.
