The Symptom Diagnostic Guide provides the technician with diagnostic information, direction, and, using the symptom as a starting point, suggests possible items.

The Symptom Diagnostic Index is divided into two action categories: Electrical Programs, identified by 200-series numbers, and Hydraulic/Mechanical Programs, identified by 300-series numbers. Electrical Programs list possible electrical components that may be the cause of, or may contribute to, the symptom being described. Hydraulic/Mechanical Programs list possible hydraulic or mechanical components that may be the cause of, or may contribute to, the symptom being described.

Diagnostic instructions using the Symptom Chart


1. Using the Symptom Index, select the Problem/Symptom that best describes the fault condition.

2. Refer to the program specified in the "Diagnostics by Malfunction Indicator" table.



3. Always start diagnostics on the symptom of a malfunction with:
  • a preliminary inspection
  • b confirmation of the presence of a problematic condition,
  • c checking the working fluid levels

NOTE: Not all electrical problems will cause a diagnostic trouble code (DTC). Be aware that the listed items may still be the cause of the problem. Verify that these items are operating correctly before proceeding to the Hydraulic/Mechanical Program.


4. Start with the "Electrical Program" as directed. Follow the references or prescribed course of action. Always perform on-board diagnostic procedures when necessary. Never skip steps. If the problem is still present after electrical diagnostics, proceed to the "Hydraulic/Mechanical Program".

5. The "Hydraulic/Mechanical Programs" lists the hydraulic or mechanical components that may be causing the problem. These components are listed in the order of removal and by the most likely cause. All listed components should be inspected to ensure the repair is correct.
