or interfering with adjacent or surrounding parts

in all steering positions.

When using the Service Tester, follow the

manufacturers instructions.

Always insert the probe of the tester from the

wire harness side.

Make sure to use the probe with a tapered tip.

Do not drop parts.

GUIDELINES

Verify the Complaint.

Turn on all the components in the problem circuit

to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.

Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly

or testing until you have narrowed down the

problem area.

Analyze the Schematic

Look up the schematic for the problem circuit.

Determine how the circuit is supposed to work

by tracing the current paths from the power feed

through the circuit components to ground. If

several circuit fail at the same time, the fuse or

ground is a likely cause.

Based on the symptoms and your understanding

of the circuit operation, identify one or more

possible causes of the problem.

Isolate the Problem by Testing the Circuit.

Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you

made as above. Keep in mind that a logical,

simple procedure is the key to efficient

troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of

failure first. Try to make tests at points that are

easily accessible.

Fix the Problems

Once the specific problem is identified, make the

repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe

procedures.

Make Sure the Circuit Works

Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in

all modes to make sure you have fixed the entire

problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be

sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make

sure no new problem turn up and the original

problem does not recur.
