As Tom has stated, the systems are numerous. To troubleshoot any HVAC system you'll need knowledge of parts and their operations. You'll have to hit the books....For the electrical try Electricity for Refrigeration, Heating, and Air Conditioning by Russell E. Smith- Breton Publishing. For mechanical and some electrical try Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning published by Goodheart-Wilcox.
Have fun.......
