Problem Symptoms Table

If a normal system code is displayed during the DTC check but the problem still occurs, check the suspected areas for each problem symptom in the order given in the table below and proceed to the relevant troubleshooting .

HINT:

Inspect the "Fuse" and "Relay" before confirming the suspected areas as shown in the table below .

Inspect each suspected area for the corresponding symptom in numerical order.
