The ºCurrent Flow Chartº section, describes which parts each power source (fuses, fusible links, and circuit breakers)
transmits current to. In the Power Source circuit diagram, the conditions when battery power is supplied to each system
are explained. Since all System Circuit diagrams start from the power source, the power source system must be fully
understood.

(c) JACKING UP AND SUPPORTING VEHICLE
(1) Care must be taken when jacking up and supporting the vehicle. Be sure to lift and support the
vehicle at the proper locations (see page 01-21).
(d) PRECOATED PARTS
(1) Precoated parts are bolts and nuts, that are coated
with a seal lock adhesive at the factory.
(2) If a precoated part is retightened, loosened or
moved in anyway, it must be recoated with the spe-
cified adhesive.
(3) When reusing precoated parts, clean off the old
adhesive and dry the part with compressed air.
Then apply new seal lock adhesive appropriate to
the bolts and nut.
NOTICE:
Perform the torque with the lower limit value of the torque
tolerance.
(4) Some seal lock agents harden slowly. You may
have to wait for the seal lock agent to harden.
(e) GASKETS
(1) When necessary, use a sealer on gaskets to prevent leaks.
(f) BOLTS, NUTS AND SCREWS
(1) Carefully follow all the specifications for tightening torques. Always use a torque wrench.
(g) FUSES
(1) When replacing fuses, be sure that the new fuse
has the correct amperage rating. DO NOT exceed
the rating or use one with a lower rating.

HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING
HINT:
Carry out troubleshooting in accordance with the procedures below. Only a basic procedure is shown. De-
tails in the Diagnostic Section show the most effective methods for each circuit. Confirm the troubleshooting
procedures for the relevant circuit before beginning troubleshooting.
1 VEHICLE BROUGHT TO WORKSHOP
2 CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS
(a) Ask the customer about the conditions and environment when the problem occurred.
3 SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION AND DTC (AND FREEZE FRAME DATA) CHECK
(a) Check the battery positive voltage.
Standard: 11 to 14 V (Engine stopped)
(b) Visually check the wire harness, connectors and fuses for open and short, etc.
(c) Warm up the engine to the normal operating temperature.
(d) Confirm the problem symptoms and conditions, and check for DTCs according to the related chart.
OK Go to step 5
NG
4 DTC CHART
(a) Check the results obtained in step 3, then confirm the inspection procedures for the system or part
using the DTC chart.
Go to step 6
5 PROBLEM SYMPTOMS CHART
(a) Check the results obtained in step 3. Confirm the inspection procedures for the system or part using
the problem symptoms table.
6 CIRCUIT INSPECTION OR PARTS INSPECTION
(a) Confirm the circuit in the system or the part that should be checked using the problem symptoms table
or the results obtained in step 4.

PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
The suspected circuits or parts for each problem symptom are shown in the table below. Use this table to
troubleshoot when, during a DTC check, a ºNormalº code is displayed but the problem is still occurring. Num-
bers in the table show the inspection order in which the circuits or parts should be checked.
HINT:
In some cases, the problem is not detected by the diagnostic system even though a problem symptom is
present. It is possible that the problem is occurring outside the detection range of the diagnostic system, or
that the problem is occurring in a completely different system.
