Troubleshooting

This section provides the most simple scheme of finding the causes of malfunctions and failures occurring in knots and systems of the vehicle. Faults and their possible causes are divided into groups on the basis of a certain relationship to the component or system of a vehicle, such as engine, cooling system, etc., in addition, in the text are links to chapters and sections related to these problems.

Keep in mind that the successful completion of the search to solve this problem is not the result of black magic that is available only skilled professional mechanics, but is determined by a combination of specific knowledge and a patient, systematic approach to the problem. Always move from simple to complex, to bring each check to the logic end and try not to miss the obvious fact - anyone can forget to fill fuel in the fuel tank or to leave for the night included lighting.

Finally, you should always have a clear picture of the problem and take appropriate steps to prevent recurrence. If an electrical failure occurred due to violation of the quality of contact, at the same time check the status of all other contacts, and the electrical connectors of the system. If the same fuse repeatedly continues to blow, it makes no sense to continue to simply replace it - it is necessary to try to determine the cause of failure. Keep in mind that failure of a minor component may be a sign of malfunction of a critical node or an entire system.
