CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS |
- When troubleshooting, check 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 |
|

INSPECT AUXILIARY BATTERY |
(a) Measure the auxiliary battery voltage with the power switch off.
Standard Voltage:
11 to 14 V
HINT:
If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the auxiliary battery before proceeding to the next step.

(a)
Check that condensation is not likely to occur in the cabin and that
the temperature is not high or extremely low in the cabin.
OK:
Condensation is not likely being produced and the temperature is not high or extremely low.
HINT:
- A humid cabin and a rapid change in temperature may lead to condensation. Condensation in the cabin may cause a short circuit.
- The audio and visual system may not operate normally when the temperature is -20°C (-4°F) or lower, or 65°C (149°F) or higher.
