2-24. STE/ICE TROUBLESHOOTING (SIMPLIFIED TEST EQUIPMENT FOR INTERNAL
COMBUSTION ENGINES)
a. General.
This section is applicable only if STE/ICE is available. This section contains information
and tests which may be used with STE/ICE to locate malfunctions that may develop in the vehicle. The tests
can be used during troubleshooting, Preventive Maintenance Checks and Service (PMCS), or after replacing
parts to isolate malfunctions, anticipate failures, and ensure that proper repairs have been made.
STE/ICE is used primarily with the vehicle electrical system. These tests cannot cover all possible
troubles which may occur. If a particular malfunction is not covered, refer to Electrical Troubleshooting,
para. 2-22, and locate the troubleshooting procedure for the malfunction observed. To obtain the maximum
number of observed symptoms of the malfunction, question the operator.
b. STE/ICE Chain Index.
PMCS (para. 2-12) contains a list of various troubles which may occur
during operation or inspection of the vehicle. When one of the malfunctions listed occurs, the mechanic
proceeds to the associated STE/ICE Chain Index.
c. Engine Chain Indexes.
Tables 2-5 and 2-6 provide indexes for GO and NO-GO test chains for
M939/A1/A2 series vehicles. The test chains are presented on the pages which follow.
NOTE
Use vehicle entry 06 on test select switches for M939/A1 series
vehicles; 31 for M939A2 series vehicles.
