  2. CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS 

    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 for problem analysis:
      What 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

    See step  3

  3. READ AND SAVE OPERATION HISTORY 
    NOTE:
    • If the vehicle or vehicle controls are operated (for example, during initial inspection when the vehicle is brought in for repair) before operation history has been read out and saved, the operation history information could be lost.
    • The function "Read operation history" uses the current system time setting inside the Techstream and the time counter inside the controlling ECU to calculate the timings shown in the operation history. For this reason, before reading out the operation history, first make sure that the Techstream system clock is accurately set to the current time.
    1. Read and save operation history using the Techstream.

      Refer to CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS [01/2017 - ]

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    See step  4

  4. INSPECT AUXILIARY BATTERY 
    1. Measure the auxiliary battery voltage with the power switch off.

      Standard voltage

      11 to 14 V (power switch off)

      HINT: 

      • A simple method to determine whether the auxiliary battery is discharged is to operate the horn.
      • If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the auxiliary battery before proceeding.
    2. Check the fuses and relays.
    3. Check the connector connections and terminals to make sure that there are no abnormalities such as loose connections, deformation, etc.
