- Critical components are re-soldered or replaced to help prevent intermittent failures
- Every module is 100% computer tested, using automated equipment or a bench test depending on the application
- On-car vehicle validation checks durability and performance
- Remanufacturing reduces the energy and raw material needed to make a new part by 80%
