< BASIC INSPECTION >
DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WORK FLOW
1.GET INFORMATION FOR SYMPTOM
1. Get detailed information from the customer about the symptom (the condition and the environment when
the incident/malfunction occurred).
2. Check operation condition of the function that is malfunctioning.
>> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK FOR DTC
1. Check BCM for DTC.
2. Perform the following procedure if DTC is displayed.
- Record DTC and freeze frame data (print them out with CONSULT-III).
- Erase DTC.
- Study the relationship between the cause detected by DTC and the symptom described by the customer.
3. Check related service bulletins for information.
Are any symptoms described or any DTC detected?
Symptom is described, DTC is displayed>>GO TO 3.
Symptom is described, DTC is not displayed>>GO TO 4.
Symptom is not described, DTC is displayed>>GO TO 5.
3.CONFIRM THE SYMPTOM
Confirm the symptom described by the customer.
Connect CONSULT-III to the vehicle in the “DATA MO NITOR” mode and check real time diagnosis results.
Verify relation between the symptom and the condition when the symptom is detected.
>> GO TO 5.
4.CONFIRM THE SYMPTOM
Confirm the symptom described by the customer.
Connect CONSULT-III to the vehicle in the “DATA MO NITOR” mode and check real time diagnosis results.
Verify relation between the symptom and the condition when the symptom is detected.
>> GO TO 6.
5.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
Perform DTC Confirmation Procedure for the display ed DTC, and then check that DTC is detected again.
At this time, always connect CONSULT-III to the vehicle, and check diagnostic results in real time.
If two or more DTCs are detected, refer to BCS-56, "
DTCInspectionPriorityChart" (BCM) determine trouble
diagnosis order.
NOTE:
Perform Component Function Check if DTC Confirmati on Procedure is not included in Service Manual. This
simplified check procedure is an effective alternat ive though DTC cannot be detected during this check.
If the result of Component Function Check is NG, it is the same as the detection of DTC by DTC Confirmation
Procedure.
Is DTC detected?
YES >> GO TO 7.
NO >> Refer to GI-40, "
Intermittent Incident".
6.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING SYSTEM BY SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
Detect malfunctioning system according to SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS based on the confirmed symptom in step
4, and determine the trouble diagnosis order based on possible causes and symptoms.
>> GO TO 7.
7.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART BY DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
Inspect according to Diagnostic Procedure of the system.
