The reported complaint was confirmed.Although there were no erratic readings observed during evaluation, residue contamination of the flow sensor connector can sometimes produce intermittent connection which may cause this effect and be a contributing factor to the reported complaint.If additional information becomes available on this complaint that would alter the facts and/or conclusion, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
