If the dipstick is missing during an inspection, what should the technician enter into the EIS?

• A. The vehicle is not operable
• B. Dipstick missing
• C. The inspection cannot proceed
• D. The AIS is missing

Answer: (D)

The test records focus on the status of the inspection system as well as the vehicle. When a required piece of inspection infrastructure is missing, you don’t enter a generic note about the dipstick; you flag the specific inspection information system status that is unavailable. Entering that the AIS is missing communicates that the failure is tied to the inspection data subsystem rather than to the vehicle itself, and it prevents proceeding with the test until the AIS issue is resolved. The other options describe the vehicle condition or use a nonstandard entry, which doesn’t align with how the EIS documents this scenario.
