The Diagnosis By Symptom Index gives the technician diagnostic information and direction. It suggests possible components, using a symptom as a starting point. All routines start out with any potential electrical components that can cause or contribute to the symptom described. The routines then list all possible hydraulic or mechanical components that can cause or contribute to the symptom described.
