Toyota Sienna Service Manual: How to proceed with troubleshooting
1 VEHICLE BROUGHT INTO A WORKSHOP
2 DIAGNOSTIC QUESTIONING AND SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
- Ask the customer about symptoms and confirm malfunctions.
3 CONFIRM THE SYSTEM NORMAL CONDITION
4 CHECK DTC
HINT: If the system cannot enter the diagnosis mode, inspect each AVC-LAN communication signal and repair or replace problem parts.
5 DTC CLEAR
- Clear the DTCs and finish the diagnostic mode.
HINT: The currently output DTCs may not indicate actual malfunctions depending on the vehicle conditions.
6 RECHECK DTC
HINT:
- If the system cannot enter the diagnosis mode, inspect the AVC-LAN and all the components that connect to the AVCLAN for short circuits.
- Even if the malfunction symptom is not confirmed, check for diagnostic trouble codes. This is because the system stores past diagnostic trouble codes.
- Refer to the detailed description on the diagnostic screen, as necessary.
- Check the diagnostic trouble code and inspect the area the code indicates.
7 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
- Find the output code on the diagnostic trouble code chart.
8 PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
- Find the applicable symptom code in the problem symptoms table.
HINT: If the symptom does not recur and no code is output, perform the symptom reproduction method
9 CHECK THE ECU TERMINAL ARRANGEMENT BASED ON THE MALFUNCTION SYMPTOM
10 CHECK THE CIRCUIT
- Adjust, repair, or replace as necessary.
11 RECHECK THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
HINT: After deleting the DTCs, recheck for diagnostic trouble codes.
12 PERFORM CONFIRMATION TEST
