MALFUNCTION/SYMPTOM INDEX

The malfunction/symptom index (WP 0009-00 and WP 0046-00) are quick reference indexes for finding troubleshooting

procedures. Associated with each symptom name is a work package sequence number representing the starting point in a

troubleshooting sequence. Should any one symptom require more than one troubleshooting sequence to arrive at the

most likely area of investigation, the additional starting point numbers are presented.

As the troubleshooting activity progresses through to the conclusion of a particular sequence, a reference is made to the

next logical troubleshooting sequence by work package sequence number or by referring to the malfunction/symptom

index to locate the next failure symptom work package. This type of activity continues until successful fault isolation is

achieved.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES

The troubleshooting work packages contain tables listing the malfunctions, tests or inspections, and corrective action

required to return to the normal operation. Perform the steps in the order they appear in the tables.

Each work package is headed by an initial setup. This setup outlines what is needed as well as certain conditions which

must be met before starting the task. DO NOT START A TASK UNTIL:

You understand the task.

You understand what you are to do.

You understand what is needed to do the work.

You have the things you need.

This manual cannot list all malfunctions that may occur, or all tests or inspections and corrective actions. If a

malfunction is not listed or is not corrected by listed corrective actions, notify your supervisor.
