Inspection and verification
WARNING: Risk of accident. Apply the parking brake. Shift the transaxle to position "P". Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury.
Since diagnostics of faults begins from the moment the vehicle is accepted for repair, we recommend the following procedure:
1. Check the validity of the customer's complaint by using the system.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.
3. If an obvious cause for the problem you have identified or the customer has described is found, correct it (if possible) before proceeding with further actions.
4. If the cause of the problem is not visually obvious, check the malfunction symptom and refer to the Malfunction Symptom Table.
