SYMPTOM SIMULATION
HINT:
The most difficult case in troubleshooting is when no symptoms occurs. In such cases\
, a thorough customer
problem analysis must be carried out. Then the same or similar conditions and e\
nvironment in which the
problem occurred in the customer's vehicle should be simulated. No matter how much experience a techni-
cian has, or how skilled he may be, if he proceeds to troubleshoot without c\
onfirming the problem symptoms,
he will tend to overlook something important in the repair operation and make a wrong guess somewhere,
which will only lead to a standstill. For example, for a problem which only o\
ccurs when the engine is cold,
or for a problem which occurs due to vibration caused by the road during d\
riving, etc., the problem can never
be determined when the engine is hot or when the vehicles is at a standsti\
ll. Since vibration, heat or water
penetration (moisture) is a likely cause for the problem which is difficult to reproduce, the symptom simulation
tests introduced here are effective measures in a point that the external causes are applied to the vehicle
in a stationary condition.
Important points in the symptom simulation test:
In the symptom simulation test, the problem symptoms should be confirmed, \
and the problem area or parts
must also be discovered. To do so, reduce the possible problem circuits according to the symptoms before
starting this type of test and have the hand±held tester connected beforehand\
. After that, carry out the symp-
tom simulation test, judging whether the circuit being tested is defective \
or normal and also confirming the
problem symptoms at the same time. Refer to the problem symptoms table of each system to narrow down
the possible causes of the symptom.
1. VIBRATION METHOD: When vibration seems to be
the major cause.
(a) PART AND SENSOR
(1) Apply slight vibration with your finger to the part ofthe sensor considered to be the problem cause and
check whether the malfunction occurs.
HINT:
Applying strong vibration to relays may result in open relays.
(b) CONNECTORS (1) Slightly shake the connector vertically and horizon-tally.
(c) WIRE HARNESS
(1) Slightly shake the wire harness vertically and hori-zontally.
The connector joint and fulcrum of the vibration are
the major areas that should be checked thoroughly.
2. HEAT METHOD: If the problem seems to occur when the area in question is heated.
(a) Heat the component that is the possible cause of the mal- function with a hair dryer or similar object. Check if the
malfunction occurs.
NOTICE:

Do not heat the components to more than 60 C
(140 F) (Temperature is limited to keep the compo-
nents from being damaged).

Do not apply heat directly to the parts in the ECU.
3. WATER SPRINKLING METHOD: When the malfunc- tion seems to occur on a rainy day or in high±humid-
ity.
(a) Sprinkle water onto the vehicle and check if the malfunc- tion occurs.
NOTICE:

Never sprinkle water directly onto the engine
compartment, but indirectly change the temperature
and humidity by spraying a mist of water onto the ra-
diator front surface.

Never apply water directly onto the electronic compo-
nents.
HINT:
If a vehicle is subject to water leakage, the leaking water may
contaminate the ECU. When testing a vehicle with a water leak-
age problem, this factor must also be considered.
4. OTHERS: If the malfunction seems to occur when electrical load is excessive.
(a) Turn on all the electrical equipment including the heater blower, headlights, rear window defogger, etc., and check
if the malfunction occurs.

PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
The suspected circuits or parts for each problem symptom are shown in the t\
able below. Use this table to
troubleshoot the problem when a Normal code is displayed in the diagnostic trouble c\
ode chart but the prob-
lem is still occurring. Numbers in the table indicate the order in which\
the circuits or parts should be checked.
HINT:
When the problem is not detected by the diagnostic system even though the pr\
oblem symptom is present,
it may be that the problem is occurring outside the detection range of t\
he diagnostic system.
