1-2. Important Information for Troubleshooting

Before conducting troubleshooting, it is important to carefully read the operation manual and workshop manual
and understand the electric circuits for each component as well as the structure and function of each system.
Sufficient knowledge of the systems will enable you to identify a possible cause much faster. A fault or problem
may seem to be related to many different factors. To identify the true cause, some experience is needed. To
perform the appropriate troubleshooting, it is important to learn not only the normal operations of the systems but
also the possible symptoms that may occur when an abnormal condition is present.
This chapter explains the possible causes and remedies for likely incidents taken from past experience.
