How To Proceed With Troubleshooting
HINT:
- Use these procedures to troubleshoot the electric power control system.
- *: Use the Techstream.
- VEHICLE BROUGHT TO WORKSHOP
- INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE
Standard voltage:
11 to 14 V
If the voltage is below 11V, recharge or replace the battery before proceeding.
- INSPECT COMMUNICATION FUNCTION OF CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM*
- Using the Techstream, check if the CAN communication system is functioning normally.
