HINT
- When 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.
REFERENCE CHARTWhat Vehicle model, system name When Date, time, occurrence frequency Where Road conditions Under what conditions? Driving conditions, weather conditions How did it happen? Problem symptoms - INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE
- Measure the battery voltage
Standard Voltage:
11 to 14 V
If the voltage is below 11V, recharge or replace the battery before proceeding to the next step.
- Measure the battery voltage
- CRANK ENGINE FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS
- CHECK FOR DTCS*
- Check for DTCs and note any codes that are output.
- Clear the DTCs
- Recheck for DTCs. Based on the DTCs output above, try to duplicate the SFI system DTC, engine immobilizer system DTC, steering lock system DTC, multiplex communication system DTC or smart access system with push button start (starting) DTC by simulating the symptoms indicated by the DTCs.
