Troubleshooting Methodology
Troubleshooting is an organized study of the problem and a planned method of investigation and
correction.
Think about the following before proceeding:
What were the warning signs prior to failure?
Do not rule out previous failed attempts.
Ensure components and wiring are installed as per factory specs.
Check the obvious things first. Keep it simple.
Work through troubleshooting charts methodically.
Many problems can be traced not to one part alone, but to the relationship
of one part with another.
For multiple electrical faults, check the common ground locations.
Use the Troubleshooting Guide as a reference only. It may not contain all
the answers.
Use a test light and jumper wire to trace and eliminate.
Identify heat build-up using an infra red sensor.
Carry out flow and pressure tests before removing components.
Keep to Maintenance Schedules.
