TROUBLESHOOTING FLOWCHARTS

Introduction

The “Flow Charts” in this section may be used in conjunction with the “Diagnostic Tests” of Section 7. Numbered tests in the Flow Charts correspond to identically numbered tests of Section 7.

Problems 1 through 4 apply to the AC generator only.

Beginning with Problem 5, the engine DC control sys- tem is dealt with.
