Apart from the standard mechanical issues...
- check to make sure the fob locks/unlocks the doors
-That the A/C display is bright.
-Check the drivers side of the rear diff (notorious for leaks)
- that the tire pressure sensors are still working
- that the oil pressure sensor is reporting accutate ( DIC vs gauge)
- that the gas gauge is working
Run the diagnostic codes and record what is shows
