ARTICLE BEGINNING
         SYMPTOM CHECK LIST WORKSHEETS
         * PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
NOTE:    This article is intended for general information purposes
         only. It does not apply specifically to one make or model.
         PURPOSE
         Why Use the Symptom Check List Worksheets?
         One of the most difficult and critical lines of communication
is between the service customer and the technician. The clearer the
technician understands the customer's concerns, the more likely the
problem will be "fixed right the first time".
         The Symptom Check List Worksheets in this article are
designed to improve this communication. When used consistently, they
can be helpful in reducing shop comebacks, increasing technician
productivity, and producing satisfied customers. They also provide
other benefits:
      *  Reduce "No Trouble Found" problems
      *  Increase customer involvement
      *  Customer perceive that "they really care and listen"
      *  Save time during peak write-up periods
      *  Reduce recontacting customers for additional information
      *  Improve night drop information
      *  Insure all the right questions are asked at write-up
         Making the Worksheets a Part of Your Normal Routine
         The following information contains ideas that may be helpful
in forming habits that promote daily use of the Symptom Check Lists:
      *  HAVE THE SERVICE ADVISER FILL OUT THE FORM(S) WITH THE
         CUSTOMER WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
      *  Place them in your night drop for the customer to fill out,
         along with an instruction sheet to help them understand what
         to do.
      *  Hand out the worksheets to customers while they wait in line
         during the peak morning rush and ask them to fill it out. It
         will save time for all concerned and improve the quality of
         information received from the customer.
      *  Make sure it is attached to the hard copy when it goes to the
         technician.
      *  Place a copy with the final repair papers and review it with
         the customer at delivery.
      *  Put a new worksheet in the glovebox of all departing
         customers.
      *  Require that you personally see a copy of all worksheets
         filled out for shop comebacks.

         COMPUTERIZED ENGINE CONTROLS
         The Bosch AFC Digifant II system is a computer-controlled
fuel injection system. The system does not use cold start injector or
thermo time switch for cold start enrichment. Different sensors and
switches, along with Electronic Control Unit (ECU), regulate fuel
injection and ignition timing.
         ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT
         These units cannot be repaired. The ECU controls all engine
operations, and limits maximum engine speed. The ECU receives
information from various input devices.

         The idle stabilization control unit is located in front of
the right-hand taillight assembly. If engine idle speed differs from
the value stored in the idle stabilization control unit, the idle
stabilizer valve adjusts the volume of air entering the engine at
idle. The idle stabilization control unit receives information from
