Where should diagnosis start?

• Evaluate HV/12 V boundary, battery thermal management and energy flow together.
• Check charging, HV isolation, 12 V supply, thermal management and software state as separate evidence chains.
• For AWD/4x4 variants, verify transfer/differential, tire circumference and torque distribution control separately.

Exact OEM torque, pressure, capacity, pin or calibration values are not inferred from this normalized identity record; a verified service source is required for the exact vehicle application.

System architecture: what does this record indicate?

• EGR, DPF/FAP, EGT, NOx and SCR/DEF aftertreatment interact with engine torque request; derate can be a secondary result.
• ICE, 12 V, HV/48 V, DC-DC, motor-generator and thermal management are separate control layers; energy flow is aligned with the fault event.
• In an EV, HV battery/BMS, contactor-HVIL/isolation, inverter-motor, OBC/DC-DC, 12 V and cooling circuits are separate evidence branches.
• In AWD/4x4, tire circumference, transfer/differential, wheel speeds and torque-distribution request are kept as separate mechanical/electronic evidence.

Freeze-frame and live-data package

• Freeze frame: first/last fault time, RPM, load, vehicle speed, system voltage, core temperatures and companion DTCs.
• Electrified layer: SOC/SOH where available, cell delta, pack temperatures, HVIL/isolation, contactor permission, DC-DC output and 12 V voltage.
• Chassis/traction: four wheel speeds, steering angle, yaw/acceleration and AWD torque request/feedback on the same time base.

Measurement sequence

1. 1) Match vehicle/generation/market/powertrain/driveline identity to the source record; family name alone is not fitment evidence.
2. 2) Preserve freeze frame and companion DTCs before clearing; make the first-fault condition reproducible.
3. 3) Verify power/ground and network communication under load; do not decide from key-on static measurement alone.
4. 6) After repair, recreate the same load/temperature and verify DTC state, live-data deviation and user symptom together.

Root-cause discrimination matrix

• For DPF/SCR faults, separate sensor result from real loading: differential pressure, EGT chain, soot/ash calculation and NOx conversion must be physically consistent.
• For READY/charging faults, separate 12 V supply from the HV permission chain first; low 12 V can mimic contactor/HVIL/isolation faults.
• For battery performance, use cell delta, temperature spread and voltage deviation under load/charge instead of one SoH percentage alone.
• For AWD binding/warning complaints, exclude tire-circumference or wheel-speed mismatch before condemning transfer/differential hardware.
