INTRODUCTION TO TROUBLESHOOTING
0087 00
TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTOM INDEX
The Troubleshooting Symptom Index (WP 0088 00) lists common malfunctions that may occur during operation or crew
servicing of the carrier and its components.
The Troubleshooting Symptom Index is divided into sections. Each section covers malfunctions common to the different
systems of the carrier (e.g., engine, transmission, suspension, etc.).
Identify the malfunction that best describes your problem and turn to the appropriate Troubleshooting Table in WP 0089 00.
TROUBLESHOOTING TABLES
The Troubleshooting Tables work package (WP 0089 00) contains tables listing the malfunctions, tests or inspections, and
corrective actions required to return the systems to normal operation. Perform the steps in the order they appear in the tables.
Each table is headed by an initial setup. This setup outlines what is needed as well as certain conditions which must be met
before starting the task.
The Troubleshooting Tables have three columns — MALFUNCTION, TEST OR INSPECTION, and CORRECTIVE
ACTION.
The MALFUNCTIONs (symptoms) are numbered in sequence through the Troubleshooting Table.
The TEST OR INSPECTION is a step you take to isolate the fault that causes the MALFUNCTION. Each TEST OR
INSPECTION has a CORRECTIVE ACTION.
The CORRECTIVE ACTIONs are the statements which tell you what to do to correct the fault.
This manual cannot list all possible malfunctions, nor all the tests or inspections and corrective actions. It is essential that you
record all faults on DA Form 2404 and report it to unit maintenance. If a malfunction is not listed, or is not corrected by the
listed corrective action, notify unit maintenance.
