Welcome to version 6.2 of the Diagnostic Assistance Ebook.

I have been involved with automotive diagnostics, training and diagnostic equipment since ‘coming off the spanners' many years ago, working with several of the trade's leading diagnostic equipment manufacturers including Crypton, Allen Test and Peerless Automotive. I have been involved with training and development for Crypton, Pico Technology, Green Flag and Computa Tune.

Since 2000 I have been working with Auto-Solve developing the Ebook presentation.

In today's workplace there is no substitute for using the right diagnostic equipment and having access to technical information. The personal development of the technicians employed to repair modern vehicles has never before been so important.

Using a logical approach to problem solving can save time and money; never overlook the obvious. I hope we have explained the systems operations in a simple and logical format, however it is impossible to cover every single system.

I hope you find the reference material and diagnostic techniques helpful in your own diagnostic workplace, and don't forget to check the Auto-Solve website for new products. Involve yourself with fellow automotive technicians on our discussion board, and remember that feedback is always welcome via email .

Special thanks to Simon, Pico Technology, Gendan and EK Motor Factors.

Good luck with your diagnostics!

Regards,

Steve Bird
