Advanced Scan Tool Diagnostics
Almost all technicians use the scan tool to retrieve trouble codes, but the rest of the diagnosis is usually performed after the scan tool has been put away. Why? Because manufacturer's diagnostic flow charts are written for invasive tools like the DVOM, vacuum and pressure gauges, physical inspection, etc.
As a result, the most powerful scan tool features are often ignored in favor of much longer, less precise diagnostic paths. Come to this class to learn how to leverage the functionality of today's scan tools. Faster and more accurate tests result in greater customer satisfaction and higher income!
