5.5.5 Troubleshooter
Fast-Track® Troubleshooter is a database of experience-based information of validated
real-world repair strategies that have been compiled by top-notch technicians since 1988. The
Troubleshooter system simplifies the diagnosis process, as it contains information on virtually all
common diagnostic trouble code (DTC) problems and driveability symptoms for most vehicles
covered by the vehicle communication software.
Troubleshooter information is organized into a series of diagnostic tips that are designed to quickly
lead you to the root cause of a particular problem. The tips are vehicle-specific, which means only
tips that relate to the identified vehicle are presented.
Troubleshooter appears in a Scanner menu only if tips are available for the system selected on the
identified vehicle. Selecting opens a Troubleshooter Menu that typically includes:
•
Code Tips—provides detailed information on setting conditions, testing, and interpreting test
results for specific codes.
•
Symptom Tips—provides diagnostic tests and procedures based on vehicle operation.
•
Time Savers—provides supplemental information, such as firing order and #1 cylinder
location, that may be needed to make a diagnosis.
•
Common Problems—provides advice and remedies for certain “pattern failures” that have
been experienced on vehicles of the same model.
•
Tests and Procedures—explains how to perform certain tests on the specific test vehicle.
Some tips provide specifications and installation information as well.
•
Fast-Track Data Scan (Normal Values)—contains information and guidelines on how to
quickly validate data readings for certain sensors and actuators, live data values are provided
for comparison.
Certain live data parameter values display directly within the tip when performing Troubleshooter
tests and procedures. A tip may also contain a hyperlink to a Troubleshooter Reference, another
test or procedure, or a supplemental operation, such as Clear Codes. Hyperlinks are shown in
blue, and tapping them opens the link. Troubleshooter References open in a separate window.
