Strategy Based Diagnostics

Perform a diagnostic system check before using the symptom tables, if applicable.
Review the system operations in order to familiarize yourself with the system functions. Refer to Disassembled Views , Engine Component Description , Lubrication Description .

All diagnosis on a vehicle should follow a logical process. Strategy based diagnostics is a uniform approach for repairing all systems. The diagnostic flow may always be used in order to resolve a system problem. The diagnostic flow is the place to start when repairs are necessary.

Visual/Physical Inspection

•	Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom.

•	Check for the correct oil level, proper oil viscosity, and correct filter application.

•	Verify the exact operating conditions under which the concern exists. Note factors such as engine RPM, ambient temperature, engine temperature, amount of engine warm-up time, and other specifics.

•	Compare the engine sounds, if applicable, to a known good engine and make sure you are not trying to correct a normal condition.

Intermittent

Test the vehicle under the same conditions that the customer reported in order to verify the system is operating properly.
