    • Gather as much information as possible for reference. Past problems that seem unrelated may also help in some cases.


    • The following 5 items are important points in the problem analysis:

      What Vehicle model, system name
      When Date, time, occurrence frequency
      Where Road conditions
      Under what conditions? Driving conditions, weather conditions
      How did it happen? Problem symptoms
