    2.CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS CHECK

      HINT:
      1. 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.
      2. Gather as much information as possible for reference. Past problems that seem unrelated may also help in some cases.

      1. The following 5 items are important points in the 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

    7.INSPECT BASIC OPERATION

    1. for Automatic transaxle: Turn the engine switch on (START) and check that the engine starts normally. Make sure that the brake pedal is depressed and the shift lever is in P at this time. for Manual transaxle: Turn the engine switch on (START) and check that the engine starts normally. Make sure that the clutch pedal is depressed at this time.

    2. Check that the engine switch mode can be changed by pushing the engine switch.

      HINT:
      for Continuously Variable Transaxle:
      Without depressing the brake pedal, push the engine switch repeatedly. Engine switch mode should turn from off to on (ACC), to on (IG), and back to off.
      With the brake pedal depressed, push the engine switch repeatedly. Engine switch mode should turn to ENGINE START from any status.
      for Manual transaxle:
      Without depressing the clutch pedal, push the engine switch repeatedly. Engine switch mode should turn from off to on (ACC), to on (IG), and back to off.
      With the clutch pedal depressed, push the engine switch repeatedly. Engine switch mode should turn to ENGINE START from any status.

      OK:
      Engine can start normally.
