Where it is located
Location and access vary by platform, engine, drivetrain, market, and installed equipment. Identify the exact component using the vehicle’s service information before disconnecting or removing anything.
Symptoms are clues—not proof
Start with the system symptom and operating conditions. A failed connection, control input, related component, incorrect prior repair, or mechanical condition can imitate component failure.
Use the exact safety procedure
Confirm isolation, support, pressure, temperature, and stored-energy hazards for the vehicle before testing.
