The hand-held tester can be used at steps  4,  5,  6,  7, and  12.

  1. VEHICLE BROUGHT TO WORK SHOP 
    1. NEXT: Go to next step. 
  2. CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS (SEE  CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS CHECK  ) 
    1. NEXT: Go to next step. 
  3. PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION 
    1. NEXT: Go to next step. 
  4. CHECK BODY MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (SEE  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING  ) 
    1. Check if any DTCs are output.

      HINT:

      The ECM and cruise control ECU (distance control ECU) of this system are connected to the multiplex communication system. Therefore, before starting troubleshooting, make sure to check that there is no trouble in the multiplex communication system.

    1. MULTIPLEX SYSTEM DTC IS OUTPUT (PROCEED TO "BODY MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEM ") 
    2. NO MULTIPLEX SYSTEM DTC (GO TO STEP 5) 
  5. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (SEE  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING  ) 
    1. Check if any DTCs are output.

      HINT:

      The ECM and cruise control ECU (distance control ECU) of this system are connected to the CAN communication system. Therefore, before starting troubleshooting, make sure to check that there is no trouble in the CAN communication system.

    1. CAN SYSTEM DTC IS OUTPUT (PROCEED TO "CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM ") 
    2. NO CAN SYSTEM DTC (GO TO STEP 6) 
  6. DTC CHECK AND CLEAR (SEE  DTC CHECK/CLEAR  ) 
    1. NEXT: Go to next step.
