Trouble Diagnosis Flow Chart

DESCRIPTION

DETAIL OF TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FLOW CHART

INTERVIEW WITH CUSTOMER

Interview with the customer is important to detect the root cause of CAN communication system errors and to understand Nissan Murano vehicle condition and symptoms for proper trouble diagnosis.

Points in interview

• What: Parts name, system name

• When: Date, Frequency

• Where: Road condition, Place

• In what condition: Driving condition/environment

• Result: Symptom

Notes for checking error symptoms:

• Check normal units as well as error symptoms.

  • Example: Circuit between ECM and the combination meter is judged normal if the customer indicates tachometer functions normally.

• When a CAN communication system error is present, multiple control units may malfunction or go into fail-safe mode.

• Indication of the combination meter is important to detect the root cause because it is the most obvious to the customer, and it performs CAN communication with many units.
