    Running Change Coordinator Hybrid Vehicle Programs
    
    On-board diagnostic capabilities with OBD systems are incorporated into the hardware and software of a vehicle's on-board modules for monitoring every component that can affect emission performance. Each component is diagnostically checked to verify that it's functioning properly. If a malfunction is detected, the OBD system illuminates a warning light on the vehicle instrument panel to alert the driver to have the malfunction repaired. The system also stores important information about the detected malfunction so that a repair technician can accurately find and fix the problem.
    
    All software and hardware modifications need to be documented and shared with the agencies (CARB/EPA/International Homologation) for approval before a vehicle start of production or a production running change implementation. Submittal of supporting documents with test results or engineering evaluation of the modifications impact on Fuel Economy (FE), Emission and AECD (Auxiliary Emission Control Device) is also part of the agencies' approval process.
    The running change coordinator will work with the responsible teams for all modules affected by the software and hardware modifications, coordinate recurring meetings with the teams to ensure that all applicable fields in the TSRC (Technical safety and Regulatory Compliance) document are being populated and has the correct supporting documents attached before the document submittal for approval by Stellantis TSRC, and then the agencies.
