  4. CLEAR DTC AND FREEZE FRAME DATA 
  5. PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION 
  6. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check for output DTCs (see DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM ).

      HINT:

      The ECU of this system is connected to the CAN communication system. Therefore, before starting troubleshooting, make sure to check that there is no trouble in the CAN communication system.
