Thoughts before Fault Finding
You should try to create a logical fault finding process.





- Make yourself aware of what kind of complaint is occurring and what fault finding possibilities you have. Finding faults without a logical fault finding process would be magic - and does not lead to success.





^ It must also be clear: You should not find faults that others have already found and recognize. Try to see if your problem already had a solution described in Technical Problem Solving.
^ It can also be helpful to be acquainted with the DTC entries from other control modules. Always interrogate all control modules. Also, have the BUS topic in mind during fault finding.
