How To Proceed With Troubleshooting

HINT

• Use the following procedure to troubleshoot the LIN communication system.
• *: Use the Techstream

1. VEHICLE BROUGHT TO WORKSHOP 
2. 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 in the problem analysis.

   What	Vehicle, system name
   When	Date, time, occurrence frequency
   Where	Road conditions
   Under what conditions?	Driving conditions, weather conditions
   How did it happen?	Problem symptoms

3. INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE 
   1. Measure the battery voltage

      Standard Voltage: 

      11 to 14 V 

      If the voltage is below 11V, recharge or replace the battery before proceeding.

4. INSPECT COMMUNICATION FUNCTION OF LIN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM* 
   1. Using the Techstream, inspect the LIN communication function to ensure there are no malfunctions in the communication system (See DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM  )

5. OVERALL ANALYSIS AND TROUBLESHOOTING* 
   1. Terminals of ECU (See TERMINALS OF ECU  )
6. REPAIR OR REPLACE 
7. CONFIRMATION TEST
