CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS

HINT:
- In troubleshooting, the problem symptoms must be confirmed accurately and all preconceptions must be cleared in order to give an accurate judgment. 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. So, as much information as possible should be gathered and its relationship with the problem symptoms should be correctly ascertained for a reference in troubleshooting. A customer problem analysis table is provided in the applicable diagnostics section for each system for your use.
