To ascertain what the problem symptoms are, it is extremely important to ask the customer about the problem and conditions when it occurred.
  • The following 5 items are important points in the problem analysis. Past problems which are thought to be unrelated and the repair history, etc. May also help in some cases.

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