The system asks one discriminating question at a time and updates the candidate causes on the right. Answer from current facts; choose unknown or defer a question when the evidence is not available.
- 1
Confirm the issue
Check whether the symptom is reproducible and whether the measurement or observation is reliable.
- 2
Narrow the causes
Continue through operating changes, issue location, and available inspection results.
