- CHECK FOR DTC
- Check for DTCs and note any codes that are output.
- Delete the DTCs.
- Recheck by simulating the operation indicated by the DTC.
HINT:
- If the system cannot enter the diagnosis mode, inspect the AVC-LAN and all the components that connect to the AVC-LAN for short circuits and repair or replace the problem part.
- Even if the malfunction symptom is not confirmed, check the DTCs. This is because the system stores past DTCs.
- Check and clear past DTCs. Then check for DTCs.
