Fast-Track
®
Troubleshooter is a database of experience-based repair strategies and information,
that has been compiled and validated by top-notch technicians. Troubleshooter simplifies the
diagnosis process, as it contains information on virtually all common diagnostic trouble code
(DTC) problems and driveability symptoms.
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. Selecting opens a menu that may include:
• 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.
• Common Problems—provides advice and remedies for certain “pattern failures” that have
been experienced on vehicles of the same model.
• Tests and Procedures—explains how to perform certain tests on the specific test vehicle.
Some tips provide specifications and installation information as well.
• Fast-Track Data Scan—contains information and guidelines on how to validate data readings
for certain sensors and actuators, PID data values are provided.
• Fast-Track Fixes—provides actual repair information for related repairs.
i Troubleshooter appears in a Scanner menu only if tips are available for the system selected on the
identified vehicle.
