\n
1<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
VERIFY ALL SYSTEM DTCs<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Note<\/div>\n<\/dd>\n
\n
\u2022 Display the DTCs of all the modules using the M-MDS.<\/div>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\u2022 Perform the DTC inspection. (See DTC INSPECTION<\/a>.)<\/div>\n
\u2022 Are any DTCs displayed?<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
Yes<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
No<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
Go to the next step.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
2<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION SYMPTOM IS CAUSED BY OTHER MALFUNCTION<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Note<\/div>\n<\/dd>\n
\n
\u2022 There are few malfunction affecting only the fuel economy, therefore it is necessary to verify that other malfunctions are not appearing as symptoms.<\/div>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\u2022 Verify the vehicle engine condition.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Can malfunction symptoms other than \u201cPOOR FUEL ECONOMY\u201d be verified?<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
Yes<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
Go to the applicable symptom troubleshooting.<\/div>\n
(See SYMPTOM DIAGNOSTIC INDEX [SKYACTIV-G (US)]<\/a>.)<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
No<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
Go to the next step.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

\n
INSPECT ENGINE AND VEHICLE CONDITIONS<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Note<\/div>\n<\/dd>\n
\n
\u2022 Because the vehicle malfunction cannot be verified, it is necessary to inspect the items which may be adversely affecting fuel consumption.<\/div>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\u2022 Perform the following inspections:<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\u2015 Engine oil level (See ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))]<\/a>.) (See ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITHOUT CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))]<\/a>.)<\/div>\n
\u2015 Engine oil contamination<\/div>\n
\u2015 Engine coolant level (See ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))]<\/a>.) (See ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITHOUT CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))]<\/a>.)<\/div>\n
\u2015 Engine compression pressure inspection (See COMPRESSION INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))]<\/a>.) (See COMPRESSION INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITHOUT CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))]<\/a>.)<\/div>\n
\u2015 Spark Test (See SPARK INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))]<\/a>.) (See SPARK INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G (WITHOUT CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (US))]<\/a>.)<\/div>\n
\u2015 Tire air pressure<\/div>\n
\u2015 Clutch slippage (MTX)<\/div>\n
\u2015 Improper ATF level (ATX) (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) INSPECTION [ET6A-EL (US)]<\/a>.) (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) INSPECTION [EV6A-EL, EV6AX-EL]<\/a>.) (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) INSPECTION [ET6A-EL (US)]<\/a>.)<\/div>\n
\u2015 Brake dragging<\/div>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\u2022 Is there any malfunction?<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
Yes<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
Repair or adjust the malfunctioning location and explain the repair contents to the customer based on the inspection result.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
No<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
Go to the next step.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
4<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
VERIFY VEHICLE USE CONDITION<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Note<\/div>\n<\/dd>\n
\n
\u2022 It is necessary to ask the customer about how they use the vehicle because there is no problem with the inspection items from Step 1 to 3.<\/div>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\u2022 Verify how the customer uses the vehicle with regard to the following applicable items, and provide the customer some pertinent advice:<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\u2015 Tires, wheels (large size)<\/div>\n
\u2015 Engine operation time is longer than traveled distance<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\u2022 Vehicle is driven in congested traffic frequently<\/div>\n
\u2022 Vehicle left idling for long periods<\/div>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\u2015 Amount of fuel injection increases<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\u2022 Vehicle is carrying excess items (luggage)<\/div>\n
\u2022 Frequent acceleration\/deceleration<\/div>\n
\u2022 Frequently driving uphill<\/div>\n
\u2022 Travel distances are short (engine does not warm up)<\/div>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\u2015 Use of unrecommended engine oil (leads to inappropriate oil viscosity)<\/div>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/td>\n
\n
\u2014<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
