  2. CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS AND SYMPTOM 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
      Where Road conditions
      Under what conditions? Driving conditions, weather conditions
      How did it happen? Problem symptoms

    See step  3

  3. PRE-CHECK 
    1. For Gasoline Model:
      1. Measure the auxiliary battery voltage.

        Standard Voltage

        11 to 14 V

        If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the auxiliary battery before proceeding to the next step.

    2. For HV Model:
      1. Measure the auxiliary battery voltage with the ignition switch off.

        Standard Voltage

        11 to 14 V

        If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the auxiliary battery before proceeding to the next step.

    3. Check the fuses and relays.
    4. Check the connector connections and terminals to make sure that there are no abnormalities such as loose connections, deformation, etc.
