    Is DTC P154A, P154B, P154D, and/or P16E3 indicated?

    YES 

    Go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.

    NO 

    Go to step 2.

  2. 12 volt battery check

    -1. Start the engine.

    -2. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

    Signal Threshold Current conditions
    Values Unit Values Unit
    Idle Stop Inhibit (Battery Deterioration) INHIBITED      

    Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

    YES 

    Replace the 12 volt battery .

    NO 

    Go to step 3.

  3. DTC check 2

    -1. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

    NOTE:  The low atmospheric pressure caused by the high altitudes can inhibit the auto idle stop.

    Is DTC P2226, P2227, P2228, and/or P2229 indicated?

    YES 

    Go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.

    NO 

    Go to step 4.

  4. Problem verification:

    Do the auto idle stop system inspection .

    NOTE:

    Is auto idle stop working?

    YES 

    The system is OK at this time.

    NO 

    Go to step 5.

  5. Starter, Brake, Charging, A/T, EPS, VSA, EBB, SRS, electric parking brake system, PGM-FI system check

    -1. Start the engine, and check the indicator on the gauge, and check for any DTC with the HDS.

    Do charging system indicator, shift position indicator, EPS indicator, VSA indicator, brake system indicator, SRS indicator, electric parking brake indicator, and MIL indicator stay on or are any DTCs set?

    YES
