Special Tools:

The Diagnosis by Symptom charts give the technician diagnostic information, direction, and suggest possible components, using a symptom as a starting point.

Diagnosis by Symptom Chart Directions
1. Always begin diagnosis of a symptom with:
a. preliminary inspections.
b. verifications of condition.
c. checking the fluid levels.
d. carrying out other test procedures as directed.

2. Note: Not all concerns and conditions with electrical components will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). Be aware that the components listed may still be the cause. Verify correct function of these components prior to proceeding to the Hydraulic/Mechanical Routine listed.

Begin with the Electrical Routine, if indicated. Follow the reference or action required statements. Always carry out the on-board diagnostic tests as required. Never skip steps. Repair as required. If the concern is still present after electrical diagnosis, then proceed to the Hydraulic/Mechanical Routine listed.

3. The Hydraulic/Mechanical Routines list possible hydraulic or mechanical components that could cause the concern. These components are listed in the removal sequence and by most probable cause. All components listed must be inspected to ensure correct repair.
