1. CUSTOMER COMPLAINT ANALYSIS (See CUSTOMER PROBLEM INSPECTION FORM)
Record details of the problem (failure, complaint) and how it occurred as described by the customer.
For this purpose, use of such an inspection form will facilitate collecting information to the point required for
proper analysis and diagnosis.
2. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)/FREEZE FRAME DATA CHECK, RECORD AND CLEARANCE
First, referring to "DTC CHECK" in this section, check DTC (including pending DTC). If DTC exists, print or write
down DTC and freeze frame data and then clear malfunction DTC(s) by referring to "DTC CLEARANCE" in
this section. Malfunction DTC indicates malfunction in the system but it is not possible to know from it whether
the malfunction is occurring now or it occurred in the past and normal condition has been restored. In order
to know that, check symptom in question according to Step 5 and then recheck DTC according to Step 6.
Diagnosing a trouble based on the DTC in this step only or failure to clear the DTC in this step may result in
an faulty diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit or difficulty in troubleshooting which is otherwise un-
necessary.
3 and 4. VISUAL INSPECTION
As a preliminary step, be sure to perform visual check of the items that support proper function of the engine
and automatic transmission referring to "VISUAL INSPECTION" in this section.
5. TROUBLE SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
Check trouble symptoms based on information obtained in Step 1 CUSTOMER COMPLAINT ANALYSIS and
Step 2 DTC/FREEZE FRAME DATA CHECK.
6 and 7. RECHECKING AND RECORD OF DTC/FREEZE FRAME DATA
Refer to "DTC CHECK" in this section for checking procedure.
8. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BASIC CHECK AND TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS TABLE
Perform basic check of A/T according to "AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BASIC CHECK FLOW TABLE" first.
When the end of the flow table has been reached, check the parts of the system suspected as a possible cause
referring to "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS TABLE" and based on symptoms appearing on the vehicle (symptoms
obtained through steps of customer complaint analysis, trouble symptom confirmation and/or A/T basic check)
and repair or replace faulty parts, if any.
9. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE FLOW TABLE (See each DTC Flow Table)
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 6/7 and referring to "DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE FLOW TABLE" in
this section, locate the cause of the trouble, namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector, actuator, TCM
or other part and repair or replace faulty parts.
10. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEM
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to occur (e.g., wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to "IN-
TERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTION" in Section 0A and related circuit of DTC recorded in Step 2.
11. FINAL CONFIRMATION TEST
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the vehicle is free from any abnormal conditions.
If what has been repaired is related to the malfunction DTC, clear the DTC once and check to ensure that no
malfunction DTC is indicated.
