For concerns of a door latch (or latches) not locking/unlocking or the outside door handle is inoperative at low ambient temperatures, perform normal diagnostic procedures to determine if the latch is affected by cold weather. If it has been determined that the latch is affected by water entry that freezes and causes the latch to fail or intermittently malfunction, replace the latch. If a latch cap (Figure 1) is installed on the old latch, install the cap on the replacement latch. If the cap is not installed order the cap and install it on the new latch.

Install a vacuum gauge on the dipstick tube and check crankcase vacuum at idle. Compare to a known good vehicle. If the vacuum reading is lower than the comparison vehicle, visually inspect for oil leaks between the engine and the transmission. Smoke test the crankcase by connecting the EVAP smoke machine to the dipstick tube and inspect for leaks at the rear main seal (this will limit pressure to 2 PSI). DO NOT apply shop air to the dipstick tube or the crankcase. If a rear main seal leak is identified, replace the seal.
