A suspect DB has to be set to Emergency mode before CheckDB can be run. There's a brief (one sentence) mention of running CheckDB in Scenario 3, right before the checkDB with repair. It should have been a lot clearer.
Ah, I did miss that part, but scenario 3 is not the only place I'd run it, depending on the situation.
