CHAPTER 2
TROUBLESHOOTING APPROACH
2-1.
GENERAL APPROACH.
This chapter gives you instructions on how to use the
troubleshooting material to help you find and fix the trouble. In every system of
the truck there can be faults or problems which will cause certain symptoms. Symptoms
can be such things as unusual noise, vibration, or even complete failure of a system.
This volume gives information for each system on which you can do troubleshooting to
find faults and fix them.
Before you troubleshoot a system, you should look at the
troubleshooting indexes which will lead you to the information you need to help make
your troubleshooting faster and easier. If you follow the instructions the right way,
you will find those troubles you can fix. But, if you fix something and the trouble
is still there, it means there is more than one trouble.
If this happens, start all over
again to find the other trouble.
2-2.
TROUBLESHOOTING INDEX.
The troubleshooting index, and instructions on
how to use it are in chapter 3. Go to this index first because it tells you where to
find troubleshooting roadmaps, fault symptom indexes, summary troubleshooting charts
and support diagrams for each system.
2-3.
TROUBLESHOOTING ROADMAPS.
Troubleshooting roadmaps for each system are
in chapter 5. If the system is made up of subsystems, these subsystems are also on
the roadmap. Under the subsystem is a list of things which are the most likely causes
of a fault symptom in that subsystem. If you have enough skill, you can troubleshoot
these things on the truck without using the detailed troubleshooting procedures. So
if you know enough about the truck to work on your own, use the roadmap for the
system with the problem before you check the fault symptom index.
2-4.
FAULT SYMPTOM INDEX.
Fault symptom indexes and instructions on how to use
them are in chapter 6. For each system of the truck, there is an index which gives
you a list of the fault symptoms for that system. The index also tells you where to
find the detailed troubleshooting procedures and what resources (tools/people) you
need to do each procedure.
