This guide is divided into five main sections: "general information", "Chassis", "power unit" "electrical equipment", "Body and paintwork". Each of these sections is dedicated to the corresponding part or system of the vehicle.
Each of the five main sections also contains subsections devoted to the details that make up the system in question.
In cases where the dismantling or disassembly of parts must be performed in a certain sequence, each operation of such a sequence is assigned a number. In addition, it finds a graphical representation in the accompanying illustration.
All references to the left or right side related to the car are determined by the position of the driver sitting in the seat and looking forward.
All references to the left or right side related to the engine are determined by the position of the flywheel facing in the direction of the front camshaft pulley.
Inspection and verification
Visual Inspection Tables, Troubleshooting Tables and Other Information Tables (such as tables containing diagnostic programs), additional test procedures with technical specifications will direct the user to a specific test procedure.
Symptom table
The Trouble Symptoms Table indicates the symptoms of a malfunction, the causes of a malfunction, and the necessary actions to find the cause.
Pinpoint tests
When diagnosing electrical systems, Pinpoint tests are used to determine the source of the problem. Testing is performed in a logical, step-by-step sequence. Pinpoint tests are divided into two columns: STATUS and DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS.
Column "STATES" used solely to provide graphical information and pictograms (with or without captions), and the column "DETAILS/ RESULTS/ ACTIONS" directs the mechanic to another check point or contains a description of special corrective actions.
The numbers in the boxes indicate the sequence in which the described actions should be performed.
Item checks
Element validation is performed when an element is being validated in complex/composite pinpoint tests, or if the procedure is too complex to fit within a single pinpoint test page.
Graphic images
The graphics illustrate the measurement or test to be performed within a given test item. For voltmeters and ohmmeters, the image of the tester is used.
If one graphic refers to several measurements, the test leads are first shown as a solid line, and then, starting from the point where the wires separate, to illustrate the individual measurements, they are (wires) are shown with a broken line.
The splitter box/testers are identified by a test pin in a double circle. Test pins are marked with numbers.
NOTE: Dimensions are based on engineering design specifications, with life limits indicated where appropriate.
