Diagnostic boundary

A diagnostic trouble code reports that a monitored test failed. It does not prove one specific part is bad, and manufacturer logic can add vehicle-specific conditions.

Do not replace cylinder 5 parts blindly; a damaged harness, loose terminal, or control-driver issue can set the same code.
