German Cars: Secret to Success on Diagnosis

Presented by Haakan Light

This class will cover a variety of topics related to German cars. This will include: Service information resources, scan tools, mechanical tools, Oscilloscopes, and vehicle identification resources. The focus will be primarily on VW/Audi with a mix of some BMW, Mini, Mercedes and Porsche as well. We will also delve into the diagnostic process, and some methods that can be used to be more efficient and accurate. The class will dive into the specifics of how faults are actually determined which will enable every technician to have a better understanding of what is going on behind the scenes inside the control unit. We will draw parallels to non-european vehicles and systems in order to establish that many of the underlying principles are not that different on a fundamental level. The class will NOT be highly focused on case studies (although there will be some), but instead will focus on an approach that can be broadly applied to ALL vehicles successfully. This class will primarily benefit any technician that feels they struggle with diagnosis on German cars.

In this dynamic European Advanced Diagnostic class, we will cover several testing methods, approaches and strategies for dealing with more complex vehicle system analysis for the tougher diagnostics. In this class, we will cover several real-time diagnostic scenarios and will teach the methods and scope testing used to solve the vehicle’s fault.

• Using the scope for targeted engine diagnostics related to mechanical or driveability faults
• Strategies for multi-channel diagnostic approaches where several different systems interact
• Timing chain vs. Variable Valve Timing (VVT, VANOS) faults, how to tell the difference
• Measuring camshaft overlays and targeting engine mechanical valve train faults
• Using current and voltage to understand, characterize and diagnose system outputs

Conquering Network Diagnostics

Presented by Rich Falco
Sponsored by Carquest Technical Institute

This class covers modern vehicle network operation and how to efficiently diagnose them using common tooling. The overwhelming majority of network related issues do not require decoding of individual packets of data. It is important to understand how a network exchanges information, but a deep dive into the bits. bytes, nibbles and ticks of each network is not needed to repair the vehicle. Knowledge of the network type, the expected voltage levels, and the layout of the network wiring to the modules can provide us with enough information to gain diagnostic direction. At that point, we can use our available tooling to determine the root cause of the problem. Topics Include:
• Understanding common automotive networks and where to get help if we don’t understand them
• Discuss OE and aftermarket scan tool communication benefits and challenges
• Developing a logical diagnostic approach using service information and our own tooling
• Understanding diagnosis through communication related case studies

Network Nightmares: Solving the Diagnostic (Part 1 of 2)

Presented by Gary Smith & Adam Robertson
Sponsored by Worldpac

There is no doubt that data communications/network issues are amongst the most difficult, time consuming and costly diagnostics that we encounter. These problems fall into several categories: codes and multiple communication DTCs, scan tool errors, vehicle wiring and component faults, intermittents and more. This class is designed to provide some sound NEW diagnostic routines and the road maps that we have developed over many years of study and application in network diagnostics. Topics will include:
• The operation of the many communication protocols (languages) including single and dual wire, ethernet, fiber optic, wireless and the rules that make them work.
• RF, the radio signals that are common today for; HMI, TPMS, entry/starting systems, etc.
• Network “wake-up” strategies and wakeup waveform analysis.
• Fault tolerance’s and lack there-of, how dirty can the signal be and still work?
• The physical mechanism’s that makes a network function, terminated bus lines and CAN Nodes, how this relates to scope diagnostics on network bus lines
• Learn 5 VISUAL scope waveforms that can TARGET our problem if we understand how to interpret what the waveform is telling us.
• The proper application of scan tools and lab scope together, our diagnostic “tips ‘n tricks”
• Data interpretation, serial decoding, math channels, XY views, masks, alarms and more
• Each topic will be backed up with real case studies to re-enforce the strategies used.
All of this is followed up with live demonstrations that each technician will perform and prove-out on their own computer. Please bring your own computer with PicoScope automotive 6 and 7 installed, both are free at www.picoauto.com. This is a critical step regardless of the scope that is used at your shop.

The answer is YES, if you know what to do and what not to do in most if not, all engine and drivetrain even most HV components can be done without going to the dealer. Outlined in this class:
• Changes in Battery design
• Components of HV systems
• Testing dos and don’ts of HV systems and components

Objection! Over-ruled! Overcoming Objections to Make More Sales

Presented by Mark Seawell
Sponsored by The Institute

When someone tells us no during a presentation, we ultimately have a few choices in how we respond. We are supposed to be the advocate for the vehicle, doing everything to speak for that poor vehicle that has no voice. We are the designated champions to go to war to get those desperately needed repairs for the vehicle, so it has the best chance at survival. When someone tells us no, most of the time it's for an intangible reason. However, we incorrectly categorize the objection as tangible. In this workshop, you will learn how to correctly identify an objection, categorize it, and then use specific tools to attack and overcome it. After this workshop, you will become better communicators, learn to better handle objections, and become more confident when someone tells them no.
