DESCRIPTION:
Further describes the symptom. Confirm that the chart addresses the actual symptom before beginning
troubleshooting.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS:
This describes the possible point of malfunction.
STEP:
This shows the order of troubleshooting. Proceed with troubleshooting as indicated.
INSPECTION:
This describes an inspection to quickly determine the malfunction of parts. If a detailed procedure is necessary
to perform the INSPECTION, refer to the page shown by the “~7” mark.
ACTION:
This recommends the appropriate action to take as a result (Yes/No) of the INSPECTION. How to perform
the action is described on the reference page shown by the “~7” mark.
