Fault Analysis Procedures
Also called Repair Analysis Procedures, this section contains the basic
troubleshooting information that a technician needs to isolate the root cause of a
specific symptom.
2.1 Troubleshooting
The tables that follow are arranged in order of the normal operational sequence.
2.1.1 General
One of the first rules of troubleshooting is to first understand the normal operating
sequence of the machine (see Principle of Operation). Then carefully listen to the key
operator's description of the problem or complaint. Follow this by your own visual
observation. The cause of the problem can be determined by noting at which point in
the operating cycle the problem occurred. To pinpoint the problem to a defective
electrical component or mechanical part, use the Troubleshooting Guide and the
Electrical Schematic Diagram.
During any service call, it is a good practice to check the cable connections for fit and
alignment.
