Troubleshooter

is a database of experience-based information that has been compiled by top-notch technicians, and contains basic information on many common diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).

Selecting Troubleshooter from the Vehicle Systems Test/Function menu opens a submenu of options (options may vary).

Code Tips—provides detailed information on setting conditions, testing, and interpreting test results for specific codes.
Symptom Tips—provides diagnostic tests and procedures based on vehicle operation.
Time Savers—provides supplemental information, such as firing order and #1 cylinder location, that may be needed to make a diagnosis.
Tests and Procedures—explains how to perform certain tests on the specific test vehicle. Some tips provide specifications and installation information as well.

Troubleshooter information is organized into a series of diagnostic tips that are designed to quickly lead you to the root cause of a particular problem. The tips are vehicle‑specific, which means only tips that relate to the identified vehicle are presented.
