MELC CODE: TLE_IACSS9-12TEC-IVa-c-24
Ø Title of Textbook/LM to Study: ___________________________________
Ø Topic: Steps in troubleshooting and repair of electronic circuits.
Ø Objectives: Explain the three basic steps in troubleshooting and repair of
electronic circuits.

Let Us Discover

An effective electronics technician or troubleshooter must have a thorough knowledge

of electronics, test equipment, troubleshooting techniques, and equipment repair. Analog and
digital circuits occasionally fail, and in most cases a technician is required to quickly locate the
problem within the system and then make the repair. The procedure for fixing a failure can be
broken down into three basic steps.
Step 1: DIAGNOSE
The first step is to determine whether a problem really exists. To carry out this step, a
technician must collect as much information about the system, the circuit, and the components
used, and then diagnose the problem.
Step 2: ISOLATE
The second step is to apply a logical and sequential reasoning process to isolate the problem.
In this step, a technician will operate, observe, test, and apply troubleshooting techniques to
isolate the malfunction.
Step 3: REPAIR
The third and final step is to make the actual repair and final test the circuit.
To troubleshoot, you will need a thorough knowledge of troubleshooting techniques, a very
good understanding of test equipment, documentation in the form of technical and service
manuals, and experience.

2. An effective electronics technician or troubleshooter must have a thorough

knowledge of electronics, test equipment, troubleshooting techniques, and
equipment repair.

3. The third and final step is to make the actual repair.

4. Analog and digital circuits occasionally fail, and in most cases a technician is not
required to quickly locate the problem.

5. The first step is to determine whether a problem really exists.

6. “Diagnose” is one of the three basic steps in fixing a failure.

7. The second step is to apply a logical and sequential reasoning process to isolate
the problem.

8. The first step for fixing failure is to repair.

9. To troubleshoot, you will need a thorough knowledge of troubleshooting

techniques.

10. Isolation is the second step in fixing a failure.

Let Us Do

Directions: Write the steps in fixing failures and arrange it

chronologically. Use numbers 1-3.
