All diagnosis on a vehicle should follow a logical process. Strategy based diagnostics is a uniform approach for repairing all systems. The diagnostic flow may always be used in order to resolve a system problem. The diagnostic flow is the place to start when repairs are necessary. For a detailed explanation, refer to STRATEGY BASED DIAGNOSIS in General Information or DIAGNOSTIC STARTING POINT - Engine Mechanical in Engine Mechanical.
