7.2.1 Adjustment and Inspection Overview
Some of the adjustments/inspections are required before and after repair work.
Some of them can be done with software in the service support mode and
others can be done mechanically.
Be sure to follow the instructions in "7.2.3 Adjustments Required before/after
