OM-499 Chapter 3. Troubleshooting Procedures Section 1. Troubleshooting 1. General a. Troubleshooting is an orderly process of checking and eliminating possible causes of trouble until the exact cause is located. When looking for the cause of a trouble in a circuit or system begin at the source of power or supply.
Page 92
OM-499 3. Equipment for Troubleshooting A good quality multi-scale volt-ohmmeter is the only instrument required for troubleshooting. At least two “jumper” leads with “alligator” clips and test prods will be required. The 12-V, engine electrical system may be used as a 12-V DC power source. If a test box, part number 388318A -2, is available tests may be made more quickly and accurately, however, the test receptacle connector may be used by inserting the test points of a volt-ohmmeter into proper terminals of the connector.
Page 93
OM-499 See 2-3 Fig. 13 for typical test values at test receptacle and test box. 7. Check Connections and Leads ALWAYS make a check of connections and leads to a component suspected of being faulty. With the exception of a few instances, we will assume that connections and wiring have always been checked first and that power has not been lost as a result of defective wiring or connections.
