Diagnosis and repair workflow
Trouble diagnosis flow chart
Trouble diagnosis procedure
Interview with customer
Interview with the customer is important to detect the root cause of can communication system errors and to understand vehicle condition and symptoms for proper trouble diagnosis.
Points in interview
Notes for checking error symptoms:
Example: Circuit between ECM and the combination meter is judged normal if the customer indicates tachometer functions normally.
Inspection of vehicle condition
Check whether the symptom is reproduced or not.

Do not turn the ignition switch off or disconnect the battery cable while reproducing the error. The error may temporarily correct itself, making it difficult to determine the root cause.
