|---|---|---|
| Engine does not start | Weak battery, faulty spark plug, fuel issue | Check battery voltage; inspect spark plug; verify fuel pump operation. |
| Poor performance/loss of power | Clogged air filter, dirty fuel injector, drive belt wear | Clean/replace air filter; service injector; inspect drive belt. |
| Overheating | Low coolant, clogged radiator, faulty thermostat | Check coolant level; clean radiator fins; test thermostat. |
| Electrical failure (no lights/ EPS) | Blown fuse, poor ground, faulty stator | Check all fuses; inspect ground connections; test stator output. |
| Abnormal noise from drive | Worn U-joints, differential gear wear | Inspect front and rear drive shafts; check differential oil for metal particles. |
| 4WD not engaging | Faulty switch, actuator, wiring | Test switch continuity; check actuator operation; inspect wiring harness. |
