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 problem analysis:

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

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.	CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM*

(a) Use the Techstream to check if the CAN communication system is functioning normally (See page ).

Result	Proceed to
CAN communication DTC is not output	A
CAN communication DTC is output	B

GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

5.	CHECK LIN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM*

(a) Use the Techstream to check if the LIN communication system (LIN) is functioning normally (See page ).
