Troubleshooting
For basic troubleshooting of the engine, perform the
following steps in order to diagnose a malfunction:
1. Obtain the following information about the
complaint:
• Oil supply
• Wiring
• Connectors
Be sure to check the connectors. Loose connections
and damaged connections are likely causes of
intermittent problems. Refer to Troubleshooting,
“Inspecting Electrical Connectors”.
If these steps do not resolve the problem, identify the
procedures in this manual that best describe the
event. Check each probable cause according to the
tests that are recommended.
