As a "power user" of technical manuals in a past life, I can emphatically say that all troubleshooting procedures should be in the same chapter or they are totally useless. When I was trying to fix a problem, I did not want to RT(Whole)FM to get an answer.
YMMV but IDI

Subject: Where do you shoot trouble?
For my own peace of mind, I want to make a decision I can stick to.
Where should troubleshooting information go, in a chapter all of its
own, or scattered through the chapters covering the individual areas
where trouble may arise?
