  1. Check "Self Diagnostic Result" with CONSULT.
  2. Perform the following procedure if DTC is displayed.
    • Record DTC and freeze frame data (Print them out with CONSULT.)
    • 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.

Is any symptom described and any DTC detected?

Symptom is described, DTC is displayed.

Symptom is described, DTC is not displayed.

Symptom is not described, DTC is displayed.

3.CONFIRM THE SYMPTOM

Confirm the symptom described by the customer.

Connect CONSULT to the vehicle in "Data Monitor" mode and check real time diagnosis results.

5.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

Perform DTC Confirmation Procedure for the displayed DTC, and then check that DTC is detected again.

At this time, always keep CONSULT connected to the vehicle, and check diagnostic results in real time.
