    2. Verifications of condition.
    3. Checking the fluid levels.
    4. Carry out other test procedures as directed.
  4. NOTE: Not all concerns and conditions with electrical components will set a DTC. Be aware that the components listed may still be the cause. Verify correct function of these components prior to proceeding to the Hydraulic/Mechanical Routine listed.
  5. Begin with the Electrical Routine, if indicated. Follow the reference or action required statements. Always carry out the OBD tests as required. Never skip steps. Repair as required.
