Comparing a known-good condition, bank, cylinder, side, speed, temperature, or substituted load can reveal differences without relying on memory.
Why this matters
Understanding the system principle makes the test result more useful and reduces unnecessary disassembly or parts replacement.
Evidence to capture first
- What remains constant
- What changes between A and B
- Whether the fault follows the controlled change
A disciplined path
- Define one variable
- Capture the baseline
- Change only that variable
- Repeat and decide whether the evidence moved with it
Decision point
Parts swapping can introduce new faults and may require coding; use low-risk comparisons first.
