Basic Inspection

When a malfunction is not confirmed by the DTC check, troubleshooting should be carried out in all circuits considered to be possible causes of the problem. In many cases, by carrying out the basic engine check shown in the following flowchart, the location of the problem can be found quickly and efficiently. Therefore, using this check is essential when engine troubleshooting.

1. CHECK BATTERY VOLTAGE 
   NOTE: Carry out this check with the engine stopped and ignition switch OFF.
