A flowchart showing how to proceed with troubleshooting using the DTC check is shown. Directions from the flowchart will indicate how to

The most difficult case in troubleshooting is when no problem symptoms occur. In such cases, a thorough customer problem analysis must be carried out.

overlooked and mistakes or delays.
