    See step  2

  2. CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS CHECK 

    HINT: 

    • In troubleshooting, confirm that the problem symptoms have been accurately identified. Preconceptions should be discarded in order to make an accurate judgment. To clearly understand what the problem symptoms are, it is extremely important to ask the customer about the problem and the conditions at the time the malfunction occurred.
    • Gather as much information as possible for reference. Past problems that seem unrelated may also help in some cases.
    • The following 5 items are important points for problem analysis:
    What Vehicle model, system name
    When Date, time, occurrence frequency, whether the problem occurred recently or has been occurring for a long time
    Where Whether the problem occurs at a specific location
    Under what conditions? Whether the doors were locked or unlocked, whether the ignition switch was ON, whether the hybrid control system has started.
    How did it happen? Problem symptoms

    Proceed to
    NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    See step  3

  3. READ AND SAVE OPERATION HISTORY 
    NOTE:
    • If the vehicle or vehicle controls are operated (for example, during initial inspection when the vehicle is brought in for repair) before operation history has been read and saved, the operation history information could be lost.
    • The operation history function uses the current system time of the GTS and the time counter inside the controlling ECU to calculate the times shown in the operation history. For this reason, before reading the operation history, first make sure that the GTS system clock is accurately set to the current time.
    1. Read and save operation history using the GTS.
