The focus of this year’s
The focus of this year’s “The Trainer” series has been on the diagnosis and repair of common emissions-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Dealing with a customer concern of an illuminated Check Engine light is one that many of us cut our diagnostic teeth on, so we’ll take what we’ve learned so far and move on one more step – learning a diagnostic process that will help lead us to the cause of the DTC and from there, to its successful repair.
When I worked fulltime in the bays, I paid attention to the process many of my fellow techs seemed to be using when faced with a “MIL on” concern. Step 1 – connect a scan tool and read the DTC(s) stored in the Engine Control Module (ECM). Step 2 – clear the code(s) before removing the scan tool from the vehicle. Step 3 – select the replacement parts based on the ones referenced in the DTC (an oxygen sensor for all oxygen sensor codes, a MAF sensor for all MAF sensor related codes, and so on). Step 4 – install said part and return the car to the customer. Step 5 – see if the customer came back with the same code (if not, the repair was successful. If so, refer customer to the dealer).
No, I’m not kidding. I knew several techs that worked just that way!
Needless to say, this approach is not the best way to tackle the problem. So, log on, sit back and come watch as I take you through a more logical process you can apply to any diagnostic situation!
