System map

• HV battery, BMS, isolation, inverter, OBC/DC-DC, 12 V and thermal management are separate evidence chains.
• Read clutch, mechatronics/TCU, actuator pressure, input/output speeds and adaptations together.

Measurement and verification sequence

1. During READY/charging, monitor pack temperatures, cell delta, isolation, 12 V and charging-power curve together.
2. Record cold/hot shifts, slip, input/output speed delta and actuator/line-pressure behaviour.

Misdiagnosis traps

• Displayed range or one SoH value alone does not prove battery health.

Variant-specific system split

• On turbo-petrol architecture, load calculation, boost target/actual, lambda/fuel trim, ignition and knock control are compared in the same event window.
• For DCT/DSG, TCU-mechatronics, K1/K2 clutches, actuator/line pressure and input/output speeds are evaluated together.

Freeze frame / live data

• Freeze frame: first/last fault time, RPM, load, vehicle speed, system voltage, core temperatures and companion DTCs.
• Live data: calculated load, MAP/boost target-actual, throttle angle, lambda/O2, STFT/LTFT, ignition advance and knock retard.
• Driveline: input/output speeds, commanded/actual ratio, clutch/TCC slip, fluid temperature, actuator/solenoid command and adaptations.

Root-cause split

• On lean/misfire/boost complaints, align fuel trim, lambda, ignition retard and boost deviation on one time base to separate air leak, fuel-delivery and ignition causes.
• For DCT harshness/slip, separate TCU command from clutch slip and actuator/hydraulic response; adaptation result alone does not prove mechanical wear.

What should be verified first?

Model name alone is insufficient. Do not generalize parts fitment, chronic issues or service procedures until production period, market, platform/generation, powertrain, transmission and controller identity are matched.
