If the engine was not started
Traditional fuel misfuel does not apply. If an incorrect fluid was added to a capped reservoir, do not energize the vehicle until OEM inspection.
If the engine was started
If the vehicle was driven after non-fuel fluid contamination, follow OEM diagnostics for affected systems; there is no gasoline or diesel fuel system flush.
Access procedure
- If incorrect fluid was added to washer fluid or coolant reservoirs, do not start high-voltage systems until the contamination is assessed per OEM service information
- Isolate 12V and high-voltage systems per battery disconnect procedure
- Drain or flush the affected reservoir using OEM-specified fluid only
- Inspect for leaks or damage before returning the vehicle to service
Notes
- EV9 is larger E-GMP SUV; neither uses liquid vehicle fuel
