HINT:

Here, only the basic procedures are shown. Details are provided in the Diagnostics Section, showing the most effective methods for each circuit. Confirm the troubleshooting procedures first for the relevant circuit before beginning troubleshooting of that circuit.

1. Vehicle brought to workshop 
   1. Go To Next Step
2. Customer problem analysis 
   1. Ask the customer about the conditions and environment when the problem occurred.
      1. Go to Next Step
3. Symptom confirmation and DTC (and freeze frame data) check
