Stories from the Road 6 (A Narrative About Modern Automotive
Diagnostics An Automotive Case Studies Series By Mandy Concepcion
This book, "Stories from the Road - Automotive Case Studies" is a
real work in action about the intricacies of modern automotive
diagnostics. It is based on actual real life situations. From this
book you may extract real-life lessons, which will help you as an
automotive aficionado, DIY mechanic and professional technician.
The work is divided into narrated stories representing real-life
applications of diagnostic technology, equipment usage, repair
techniques and knowledge based information. Here, you'll get input
on how to use the automotive scan-tool, OBD-2 ECM/PCM readers,
oscilloscope, graphing multi-meter, signal tone injector and many
other diagnostic tools. You'll also get deep insights on testing
all kinds of sensors and actuators, such as injectors, solenoids,
transmission components, motors, fuel pumps, CAM and crank sensors,
TPS, MAF, Knock and pretty much every component seen today. All the
content is presented on a narrated, story like format to make the
knowledge easy and fun to comprehend. With that in mind, enjoy your
readings. Table of contents Stories from the Road 6 - Content * -
Looking into an Escalade's Mind A Cadillac Escalade with a strange
IAC code. Well it's the IAC inside the MAF sensor. Follow this
diagnostic path into the inner depths of automotive diagnostics,
from scan tool PID analysis and beyond. See what happened... * -
Mysteriously Revving Lincoln LS The electronic throttle control
system or drive-by-wire accelerator control is now here to stay.
See a complete diagnostic path for this cableless throttle control
system. Follow this case from using the scanner on PID analysis,
the oscilloscope and then analyzing signal waveforms. Learn from
this case... * - Monte Carlo's Nervous Meltdown A vehicle with loss
of power, engine stalling and erratic idle surge is exactly what
was happening to this Chevy. Was it the MAF sensor, TPS or some
other component causing the issue? Was it an idle issue or also
seen at higher RPMs? See the entire diagnostic path and also using
an array of auto diagnostic equipment. Find out what happened
next... * - Nissan Altima's Cross Identity Crisis That's right, a
Nissan with what you could call double personality. See how an
ingenuous auto repair and diagnostic path was used to get to the
issue. Shown with dedicated diagrams and animations to prove the
case and present the case to you. Also get the scoop on using the
Fox and Hound for electrical diagnostics. * - Nissan Maxima's
Burning Bush A surging idle speed issue with a difficult to detect
origin. After replacing various parts, the shop ran out of options
and called in the expert. See hoe this popular stepper-motor
component was inoperable and the diagnostic path to repair. Follow
this case from a simple scan to deep ECM diagnostics using various
equipment. * - Nissan that Wouldn't Cool Down Yes, a hot Nissan,
but to the engine, the climate control system. That's right, this
A/C compressor did not want to turn ON, no matter what and it was
fully computerized. The auto diagnostic path was not as easy as one
would think. In fact this issue proved a high tech diagnostic and
tough to detect. see what happened... * - Noisy Neighbor An erratic
engine on a Ford Explorer where the TPS and ECM had already been
replaced. What could it be? See the whole auto repair path and
learn to interpret scan PID graphs, scope waveforms and analyze
wiring issue. Get the whole story here... * - BONUS - The AFR or
air fuel ratio sensor circuit The newer wide band or A F R O2
sensor solves the narrow sensing problem of the previous Zirconium
sensors. These sensors are often called by different names. Learn
how they work and how to test them.
