Fehleransprache / Abstellmaßnahmen

English translation: problem/corrective action

Tech/Engineering
German term or phrase: Fehleransprache / Abstellmaßnahmen
Fehleransprache: Bremse Stellmotor zieht nicht an. Bitte definieren Sie schnellstens Abstellmaßnahmen. I believe that Fehleransprache refers to fault description, but I am not certain. As for Abstellmaßnahmen, I found "gearing measures" in the Internet, but I do not think this really applies. Something more along the lines of preventive or corrective measures but I am not sure which. Any idea?? Thanks.

English translation:problem/corrective action
Explanation:
It sounds to me like "Bremse Stellmotor zieht nicht an" is the problem being addressed.
For Abstellmaßnahmen, many companies I work for use corrective action in their technical reporting and for example in FMEA documentation.
HTH!

Quite elementary, ...


Explanation:
Just thought of it after looking at your text some more:

Abstellmaßnahmen is nothing else but "remedies" or "remedial measures" (or even countermeasures): measures to be taken to rectify/remedy the problem.

agree  Johanna Timm, PhD: how about: FAQ/troubleshooting?

  -> troubleshooting OK, but FAQ is too "Internetish" for this automotive context.
