| | | | 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. |
