| GENERAL DESCRIPTION |
The most important purpose of diagnostics is to determine which part is malfunctioning quickly, to save time and labor.
| IDENTIFICATION OF TROUBLE SYMPTOM |
Determine what the problem is based on the symptom.
| PROBABLE CAUSE OF TROUBLE |
Look at the wiring diagram and check system’s circuit. Then check the switch, relay, fuse, ground, etc.
| LOCATION AND REPAIR OF TROUBLE |
Using the diagnostics, narrow down the causes.
If necessary, use a voltmeter, ohmmeter, etc.
Before replacing certain component parts (switch, relay, etc.), check the power supply, ground, for open wiring harness, poor connectors, etc. If no problems are encountered, check the component parts.
| CHECK SYSTEM OPERATION |
After repairing, ensure that the system operates properly.
