Troubleshooting SMCS - 1000
Introduction Troubleshooting can be difficult. To make a repair to a problem, refer to the possible cause and the corrective action. The most common problems are identified in this troubleshooting manual. The symptoms, causes, and guidance for solving the problems are given. The list of problems, causes, and corrections will only give an indication of the location of a possible problem. There is also a list that shows some of the repairs that are required. Sometimes additional repair work is required beyond the repair which is recommended. Frequently, a problem does not exist in isolation. The problem can be a result of wear or of damage to several parts which operate together as part of a system. Service personnel may remember similar complaints which were corrected by a previous method of troubleshooting. A similar complaint can have a different cause. Get a good description of the problem from the operator and/or the person that owns the vehicle. Knowing the details of the problem can save time. This will make the repair job faster and easier. All possible problems and the probable causes cannot be listed. The technician must follow a logical process of eliminating possible causes and of identifying the specific causes of the problems.
Troubleshooting The Fuel Injection Nozzles On The Engine Note: Be careful when you are handling the fuel injection nozzles in order to prevent damage to the orifices, the threads, and other surfaces. When a fuel injection nozzle is installed, make sure that all surfaces and threads are clean.
