Written for novice as well as experienced driveability technicians, Brandon Steckler’s Driveability from the Driver's Seat - Mastering Scan Tool Data Interpretation begins with an analysis of fuel injection strategy and fuel feedback control.
It provides real-world examples to demonstrate the use of generic scan tool data to make preliminary diagnostic direction decisions from the driver's seat. The ATS eScan ELITE is used to collect the scan data shown in the diagnostic examples, but any graphing scan tool could also be used effectively.
It’s Brandon belief that 85% of everything that occurs on the vehicles we face each day happens on all of them. Find out why!
