5. PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
The suspected circuits or parts for each problem symptom are shown in the table below. Use this table to
troubleshoot the problem when a ºNormalº code is displayed in the diagnostic trouble code check but the
problem is still occurring. Numbers in the table indicate the inspection order in which the circuits or parts
should be checked.
HINT:
When the problem is not detected by the diagnostic system even though the problem symptom is present,
it is considered that the problem is occurring outside the detection range of the diagnostic system, or that
the problem is occurring in a system other than the diagnostic system.
