CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS CHECK
Tech Tips
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 problem analysis:
| What | Vehicle model, system name |
| When | Date, time, occurrence frequency |
| Where | Road conditions |
| Under what conditions? | Running conditions, driving conditions, weather conditions |
| How did it happen? | Problem symptoms |

INSPECT BASIC OPERATION
Check that the hybrid control system starts normally when the power switch is pushed while the brake pedal is depressed and the shift lever is in P.
Check that the power source mode can be changed by pushing the power switch.
Tech Tips
Without depressing the brake pedal, push the power switch repeatedly. The power source mode should change from off to on (ACC), to on (IG) and back to off.
With the brake pedal depressed, push the power switch. The hybrid control system should start regardless of the original power source mode.
