Interview the customer to get as much information as possible, such as where and when the symptom occurs. This information is vital to the diagnosis,
and it also helps determine whether there is a problem with the IMA system. Write the complaint on the repair order.
Service Technician:
1. Confirm the problem using the customer information written on the repair order or have the customer demonstrate the problem, then write down the
results on the repair order.
