Automotive Equipment Usage and Repair Strategies
Diagnostic Strategies of Modern Automotive Systems
By Mandy Concepcion
In this book, we’ll cover diagnostic equipment usage. As an automotive activity, diagnosing modern vehicles has become extremely high-tech oriented and difficult. Few professions involve so much from their practitioner. A modern technician has to master a multitude of disciplines, including electronics, optics, mechanics, programming, computer science and many others. Such highly technological activities require a keen analytical mind. But as in any human endeavors, proficiency comes with practice and patience. The techniques presented in this section combined with the necessary hands on practice are designed to sharpen the technician’s abilities to perform profitable and fast diagnostics. With patience and practice, any vehicle can be repaired. Enjoy!
