Toyota Corolla (E120): Customer problem analysis
Hint
:
- in troubleshooting, the problem symptoms must be confirmed accurately, meaning that all preconceptions must be set aside in order to make an accurate judgement. To ascertain what the problem symptoms are, it is extremely important to ask the customer about the problem and conditions when it occurred.

A customer problem analysis table is provided for your use in the diagnostics section for each system.
