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? |

READ OUT AND SAVE OPERATION HISTORY |
NOTICE:
- If the vehicle or vehicle controls are operated (for example, during
initial inspection when the vehicle is brought in for repair) before
operation history has been read out and saved, the operation history
information could be lost.
- The function "Read operation history" uses the current system time
setting inside the Techstream and the time counter inside the
controlling ECU to calculate the timings shown in the operation history.
For this reason, before reading out the operation history, first make
sure that the Techstream system clock is accurately set to the current
time.
(a) Read out and save operation history using the Techstream. Click here

(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.
