Preliminary Inspection
Verify customer complaint by operating suspected system. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage. Check for blown fuses. See Fig 1-Fig 3 . Check battery state of charge. Inspect for loose or corroded connections, damaged wiring harnesses and/or switches. Check for a broken or partially broken wire inside insulation, which could cause system malfunction but prove good in a continuity/voltage check with system disconnected. Ensure any aftermarket electronic equipment is properly installed. If fault is found, repair as necessary. If no fault is found, perform self-diagnostics. See SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM .
