How to Use the Snap-On MT2500 With the ever increasing electronic content in today's vehicles, the scan tool has become the tool of choice to look into the ECM or module functions. The scanner is the only window into what the different modules are doing. One thing's to use an oscilloscope or GMM, but to know what the computer is actually interpreting, your only choice is this piece of equipment. This book is different than other book on the MT2500. This book actually teaches you how to use the equipment and interpret the PID datastream. This book also borrows from some of our other publications, but geared towards the MT2500. We also expose the use of other diagnostic equipment and how to use them together. In today's automotive repair shop the technician has to be able to use the equipment and draw relational characteristics between the signal. It is from these relations that the tech arrives to the true repair. It's not just using the MT2500. It's using the MT2500 and see if the scope and multi-meter readings also support the repair conclusion. Snap-On has over the years developed into a leader in diagnostic equipment. With that in mind, lets learn to use the MT2500 to its fullest and become a profitable, top technician. Remember, learning to use your equipment will also teach you a great deal of diagnostics.

Automotive Scan Tool PID Diagnostics (Diagnostics Strategies of Modern Automotive Systems ) By Mandy Concepcion In this section, the different techniques of scan tool parameter (PID) analysis will be exposed. Techniques involving PID analysis are quickly catching on, due to their speed and accuracy. By properly analyzing the different scanner PIDs, the technician can arrive at the source of the problem much faster and accurately. These procedures give rise to the new term "driver seat diagnostics," since most of the preliminary diagnostic work is done through the scanner. However, these techniques will in no way replace the final manual tests that are a part of every diagnostic path. They are simply geared to point the technician in the right direction. Table of Contents INTRODUCTION (Introduction to scan tool diagnostics and the relevance of using PIDs or scanner parameter to perform the first leg of all diagnostics.) - Theory of Operation Behind the Different PIDs (Describes CARB, the difference between generic and enhanced PIDs, the FTP) - OBD II Generic PIDs (PID calculated and actual values, calculated data relationships, base injection timing, ECM value substitution) - OBD I & II General PID analysis (erasing code-or not, recording, analyzing and pinpoint tests, separating PIDs into groups) - Fuel Delivery Fault Detection (fuel delivery issues, intake air temp. sensor, BARO sensor, Engine LOAD, RPM PID, Short-Term Fuel Trims, Long-Term Fuel Trims, 60% of check engine light issues, block learn/integrators, Example 1: injector fault, Example 2: intake gasket issues, fuel status, ignition timing, MAP/MAF, TPS, O2 sensor, IAC, Closed Throttle, injector pulse width, voltage power, injector dutycycle, fuel trim cell) - Test #1 (Determining an engine's fuel Consumption (rich-lean operation, duty-cycle to fuel trim relationship, O2 sensor to fuel trim relation, FT and vacuum leaks, ignition timing and idle control, test conclusion) - Test # 2 (Misfire Detection Strategy, EGR, Ignition and Mechanical misfires) (misfires and OBD2, scanner misfire detection - a time saver, OBD2 40 and 80 cycle misfire, ignition, injector and EGR density misfire, coil-on-plug, misfires and O2 sensor, lean O2 & Secondary misfire, O2 sensor & injector misfires, leaky injector, EGR and the MAP, Type A, B, C misfires, test conclusion) - Test # 3 (Air/Fuel Ratio Faults) (air-fuel imbalance, MAF and post O2 sensors, open-closed-loop, fuel enable, HC & CO relation to AF issues, test conclusion) - Test # 4 (BARO, MAP & MAF PID analysis) (MAP & valve timing faults, ECM behavior, fuel delivery or duty cycle test, volumetric efficiency, test conclusion) - Test # 5 (Clogged exhaust) (clogged catalytic converter detection, TPS, MAF and converters, idle and WOT or wide open throttle values, vacuum readings, MAP to WOT chats analysis, engine and MAP vacuum, test conclusion) - Test # 6 (EGR Fault Detection) (EGR and MAP values, ECM reaction to EGR issues, EGR temp sensor, DPFE sensor, EGR and O2-MAP and lift position sensor, EGR and engine pre-loading, EGR and the ECM erroneous high LOAD issues, test conclusion) - Test # 7 (O2 Sensor Heater) (O2 heaters and why?, tough to check O2 heater issues, O2 heater effect on signal output, O2 heater bias voltage, engine off and O2 changing value, test conclusion) - Test # 8 (Resetting Fuel Trims) (resetting injection pulse corrections, long-term and short-term fuel trims, learn condition, Lambda, case study on fuel trims, FT resetting according to manufacturer, test conclusion) - Test # 9 (Engine Cranking Vacuum Test) (MAP/MAF cranking vacuum, vacuum to PID analysis, vacuum leaks, gauge-PID test, sources of leaks, cranking values, test conclusion)

THIS IS THE BOOK MOST MECHANICS DON'T WANT YOU TO HAVE "Don't let your mechanic pick your pocket" is a ground breaking new book intended for car owners who don't know much about cars, don't have time to learn or don't really care to. They will still find, however, a need to put the odds in their favor when they have to see a mechanic. "This book is designed to save its readers money and provide the knowledge needed to deal with unscrupulous repair shops found everywhere you go," George says. "It is short, concise and straight to the point. Best of all, you won't get greasy, or in most cases even have to touch your car, AND, you don't need any mechanical background to understand it " It was written by a retired mechanic and shop owner who is tired of seeing people ripped off by less than honest mechanics. He was constantly having to defend an honest shop because of all the crooks out there He spent much of his shop's resources helping single moms and indigent families. He was appalled at the instances of creative bill writing and haphazard repairs by other shops, even when they knew their clients couldn't afford it. To fight back, he has spent the last two years compiling a list of the most common symptoms and what they mean. He has translated them into terms we can all understand, and put them in a book small enough to keep in the glove box for when it's really needed. You will also find helpful hints, a glossary of the most frequently used terms, what they mean and much more. The auther promises the book will easily reveal a variety of bumper-to-bumper noise, leak and vibration symptoms into understandable diagnoses. The goal is for car owners to be able to know enough of their problem and what to expect BEFORE seeing a mechanic. It also focuses on safety, maintenance and USEFUL information, including ways to help yourself if you're so inclined. He says: "The internet is full of all kinds of information about unscrupulous mechanics, detailed information on specific repairs and problems, and endless blogs and commentary on the dos and don'ts of automotive repair. There are also the sites that will help you diagnose your problem at $20.00 a pop or more, if you can get past the rabbit trails and advertisements. I've been through these sites, filled out the forms, taken the surveys and almost never get any useful information. Besides, when is the last time you broke down next to your computer? You can put this little book in your glove compartment and have it handy when you really need it." THIS IS THE BOOK MOST MECHANICS DON'T WANT YOU TO HAVE "It will pay for its self over and over again," says George. This is a must for anyone who drives, anywhere in the world. Mr. Moyer has been a professional in the automotive industry for nearly forty years, an Army veteran, husband, father and grandfather. He is active in his church and community and a recipient of the United Way "Unsung Hero" award for his charitable contributions. Customer Mark S. says, "I have seen a preview copy of Don't Let Your Mechanic Pick Your Pocket . The book is informative and imminently useful. If my daughter had had this book, she could have saved her engine and $3000." "Having no knowledge of cars, I was expecting to have trouble reading a book about car repairs. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was easy to understand and made me feel empowered to face the world of mechanics. No more rip-offs for me." -Cindy H. Ringoes, N.J.

The two decades between 1945 and 1965 saw some remarkable motor cars emerge from the new Rolls-Royce factory at Crewe. The Mark VI Bentley was the first model to be built entirely by Rolls-Royce, using a body supplied by Pressed Steel, although coachbuilt cars were still available. The Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn version followed in 1949, this and its Bentley sister both receiving 'big boot' bodies in 1952. Meanwhile the 120mph Continental appeared. The entirely new Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and Bentley S-series, almost identical to each other, arrived in 1955, and from 1959 a V8 was installed. By their side, coachbuilt S-series Continentals continued. Original Rolls-Royce & Bentley 1946-65 is the essential companion to these cars. The aim of this book is to reveal, in words and color photographs, how the various models altered through the course of production. Drawing on factory records, parts lists, catalogs and other data, the author has provided a meticulous survey of the standard steel cars built at Crewe. Over 250 specially commissioned color photographs, showing the detail changes to these cars, accompany the authoritative text.
