CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS

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?

INSPECT AUXILIARY BATTERY VOLTAGE

(a) Inspect the auxiliary battery voltage with the power 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.

(b) Check the fuses and relays.

(c) Check the connector connections and terminals to make sure that there are no abnormalities such as loose connections, deformation, etc.

CHECK FOR DTC*

(a) Check for DTCs and note any codes that are output.

Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Trouble Codes

Body Electrical > Main Body > Trouble Codes

Body Electrical > Rain and/or Humidity Sensor > Trouble Codes

Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Trouble Codes

(b) Clear the DTCs.

Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Clear DTCs

Body Electrical > Main Body > Clear DTCs

Body Electrical > Rain and/or Humidity Sensor > Clear DTCs

Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Clear DTCs

(c) Recheck for DTCs. Based on the DTCs output above, try to force output of the air conditioning system DTC by simulating the operation indicated by the DTC.
