Work FlowINFOID:0000000006222232
DETAILED FLOW
1.INTERVIEW FROM THE CUSTOMER
Clarify customer complaints before inspection. First of all, perform an interview utilizing DLN-39, "
Diagnostic
Work Sheet" and reproduce symptoms as well as fully understand it. Ask customer about his/her complaints
carefully. Check symptoms by driving vehicle with customer, if necessary.
CAUTION:
Customers are not professional. Never guess easily like “maybe the customer means that...,” or
“maybe the customer mentions this symptom”.
>> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK SYMPTOM
Reproduce the symptom that is indicated by the customer, based on the information from the customer
obtained by interview. Also check that the symptom is not caused by fail-safe function. Refer to DLN-28, "
Fail-
Safe".
CAUTION:
When the symptom is caused by normal operation, fully inspect each portion and obtain the under-
standing of customer that the sympt om is not caused by a malfunction.
>> GO TO 3.
3.PERFORM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
With CONSULT-III
Perform self-diagnosis for “ALL MODE AWD/4WD”.
Is any DTC detected?
YES >> Record or print self-diagnosis results. GO TO 4.
NO >> GO TO 6.
4.RECHECK SYMPTOM
With CONSULT-III
1. Erase self-diagnostic results for “ALL MODE AWD/4WD”.
2. Perform DTC confirmation procedures for the error detected system.
NOTE:
If some DTCs are detected at the same time, determine the order for performing the diagnosis based on DLN-
29, "DTC Inspection Priority Chart".
Is any DTC detected?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Check harness and connectors based on the information obtained by interview. Refer to GI-40,
"Intermittent Incident".
5.REPAIR OR REPLACE ERROR-DETECTED PARTS
 Repair or replace error-detected parts.
 Reconnect part or connector after repairing or replacing.
 When DTC is detected, erase self-diagnos tic results for “ALL MODE AWD/4WD”.
>> GO TO 7.
6.IDENTIFY ERROR-DETECTED S YSTEM BY SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
Estimate error-detected system based on symptom diagnosis and perform inspection.
Can the error-detected system be identified?

With CONSULT-III
1. Check the reference value for “ALL MODE AWD/4WD”.
2. Recheck the symptom and check that symptom is not reproduced on the same conditions.
Is the symptom reproduced?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> INSPECTION END
Diagnostic Work SheetINFOID:0000000006222233
Description
 In general, customers have their own criteria for a pr oblem. Therefore, it is important to understand the
symptom and status well enough by asking the customer about his/her concerns carefully. To systemize all
the information for the diagnosis, prepare the in terview sheet referring to the interview points.
 In some cases, multiple conditions that appear simultaneously may cause a DTC to be detected.
