    Maintenance This section details the maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting procedures for the P6243. Replacing TEKPROBE™ Interface Pins TEKPROBE interface pins can stick and fail to make contact after time. Periodically check to see that each of the interface pins move freely and fully extends out of the interface.
