Revision A

1.1 Overview

This chapter describes how to identify troubles in two levels: unit level repair and component level repair. Refer to the flowchart in this chapter to identify the defective unit and perform component level repair if necessary. This chapter also explains motor coil resistance, Sensor specification and error indication.

Since "CR Motor" and APG Motor are DC motors, the resistance among the electric poles varies. Therefore, judge if it is normal or abnormal based on if there is operation of the motor or not; the resistance values cannot be used to judge the abnormality. However, it is difficult to judge accurately, if it is not clear, replace the motor.
