How To Proceed With Troubleshooting

HINT:

  1. VEHICLE BROUGHT TO WORKSHOP 
  2. CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS CHECK 

    HINT:

    • In troubleshooting, confirm that the problem symptoms have been accurately identified. Preconceptions should be discarded in order to make an accurate judgment. To clearly understand what the problem symptoms are, it is extremely important to ask the customer about the problem and the conditions at the time the malfunction occurred.
    • Gather as much information as possible for reference. Past problems that seem unrelated may also help in some cases.
    • The following 5 items are important points in the problem analysis:
    VEHICLE MODEL SPECIFICATION

    What Vehicle model, system name
    When Date, time, occurrence frequency
    Where Road conditions
    Under what conditions? Running conditions, driving conditions, weather conditions
    How did it happen? Problem symptoms
  3. INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE 

    Standard Voltage: 

    11 to 14 V 

    If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the battery before proceeding to the next step. 

  4. INSPECT COMMUNICATION FUNCTION OF MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (BEAN) 
    1. Use the intelligent tester to check if the Multiplex Communication System (MPX) is functioning normally (See DTC CHECK/CLEAR ).

    Result 

    RESULT REFERENCE CHART (1 OF 3)

    Result Proceed to
    MPX DTC is not output A
    MPX DTC is output B

    B : Go to  MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 

    A : Go to next step 

  5. CHECK FOR DTC 
    1. Check for DTCs and note any codes that are output (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).
    2. Delete the DTCs.
    3. Recheck for DTCs.

    Result 

    RESULT REFERENCE CHART (2 OF 3)

    Result Proceed to
    DTC does not reoccur A
    DTC reoccurs B

    B : Go to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART 

    A : Go to next step 

  6. PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE 

    Result 

    RESULT REFERENCE CHART (3 OF 3)

    Result Proceed to
    Fault is not listed in problem symptoms table A
    Fault is listed in problem symptoms table B

    B : After repair, go to step   9 

    A : Go to next step 

  7. OVERALL ANALYSIS AND TROUBLESHOOTING 
    1. Terminals of ECU

      (See TERMINALS OF ECU  )

    2. DATA LIST/ACTIVE TEST

      (See DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST  )

  8. REPAIR OR REPLACE 
  9. CONFIRMATION TEST
