Pneumatic indication: separate the symptom from the suspected component

What happenedA pneumatic-system indication was reported and the first assumption was that a named valve had…
What was foundThe indication alone did not prove the valve had failed. Related indications, operating condit…
What solved itThe troubleshooting plan was rewritten around evidence and approved fault-isolation data rathe…
