Return customer called saying he thinks he needs a starter but not sure and required assistance
Tech found low voltage and tried to jump the car .. car would not jump start
Tech then isolated the battery and tested it and found 34 cold cranking amps present in the battery out of the 800 cold cranking amps it says it is supposed to put out .. battery still at 12v but 34 cca and high internal resistance
Tech removed and replaced and coded the battery back into the cars computer
Customer does not need a starter just a battery and it coded into the system
