Why We Have On-Board Diagnostics

What exactly are automotive scanners, and why do we need them anyway? We sought out the answer to this head-scratcher in Motorbooks' new book How to Use Automotive Diagnostic Scanners.

For years, it seemed, vehicles, vehicle owners, and mechanics got along quite well without diagnostic scanners. Where did the need for these tools arise, and do they really do anything, and more importantly, what jobs do they perform, and are they really necessary when repairing an automobile today? If they are now an essential component of vehicle diagnostics (and they are!), how is the automotive do-it-yourself technician, or even automobile owners with only a passing interest in why the "Check Engine" light is on, supposed to understand or even read the computer trouble codes and data streams these diagnostic tools produce? These questions, and others like them, much like most peoples' impressions of automotive scanners, code readers, and on-board diagnostic computers themselves, frequently leave automotive hobbyists and even some professional repair technicians perplexed and without a clue as to the right answers or what direction to take when it comes to high-tech auto repairs.


Dear ASD,

We have exciting news to share with you! Motorbooks will soon be joining the Quarto Knows family - a publisher of books for niche enthusiasts from all walks of life. Within Quarto Knows, the Motorbooks content will fall into a category called Quarto Drives. Within Quarto Drives, you'll find all the same content you loved on the Motorbooks blog and in the Motorbooks online store - and it'll be more robust than ever!

We want to stress that Motorbooks is not changing. We have the same publisher and the same editors - the only difference is even more great books! You'll find all the history and photos you love about muscle cars and motorcycles, plus material on anything else that moves - by air, by sea, by rail, or by road. The new website will look different, but the Motorbooks content you love will be better than ever!

For more than 50 years, Motorbooks has prided itself on publishing high-quality, beautiful books about muscle cars, motorcycles, barn finds, hot rods, and more. Follow us through this exciting transition with Quarto Knows, and tell your friends! Thanks for your support!
