How To Proceed With Troubleshooting [11/2021 - ]: Procedure

  1. VEHICLE BROUGHT TO WORKSHOP 

    Result

    Proceed to
    NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    See step  2

  2. CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS 

    Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE [11/2021 - ] 

    Result

    Proceed to
    NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    See step  3

  3. CONNECT GTS TO THE DLC3* 

    HINT: 

    If the display on the tester indicates a communication error, inspect the DLC3.

    Result

    Proceed to
    NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK DTC AND FREEZE FRAME DATA* 

    Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [11/2021 - ] 

    HINT: 

    If the Freeze Frame Data item "AC Input Voltage for Monitoring" shows 270 V or more, there is a possibility that the charging voltage was higher than standard voltage, causing a DTC to be output. When performing a reproduction test, normal charge the vehicle at the standard voltage, then check for DTCs.

    Result

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

    Result: 

    See step  13

    Result: 

    PROCEED TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [11/2021 - ] 

    Result: 

    See step  5

  5. CHECK DTC AND FREEZE FRAME DATA* 

    Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [11/2021 - ]

    HINT: 

    • Make sure to save freeze frame data because the data is necessary for performing simulation tests.
    • For the hybrid control system, there are many DTCs, many of which can be stored due to a single malfunction. As a result, in some of the diagnosis procedures an instruction is provided to check for other DTCs. By following the diagnosis path based on the combination of output DTCs, it is possible to narrow down the problem early and avoid unnecessary diagnosis.

    Result

    Proceed to
    NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    See step  6

  6. PERFORM MALFUNCTION SIMULATION TEST 
    1. Based on the results of the customer problem analysis, try to reproduce the problem.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Problem can be reproduced A
      Problem cannot be reproduced B

    Result: 

    See step  10

    Result: 

    See step  7

  7. REFER TO DTC CHART OR PERFORM CODE-SPECIFIC TROUBLESHOOTING 
    1. Refer to the DTC chart or conduct code-specific troubleshooting.

      Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [11/2021 - ] 

      Result

      Proceed to
      NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    See step  8

  8. REPAIR OR REPLACE MALFUNCTIONING PARTS, COMPONENT AND AREA 

    Result

    Proceed to
    NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    See step  9

  9. CHECK FOR DTCS* 

    Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [11/2021 - ] 

    Result

    Proceed to
    NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    END 

  10. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

    NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    See step  12

  12. CONFIRMATION TEST 
    1. Conduct plug-in charging, and referring to the results of the customer problem analysis, check to see if the malfunction reoccurs.

      Result

      Proceed to
      NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    END
