As many of you know, Motor Age and TST (tstsemi-nars.org) have partnered for the last decade to bring you a special webinar presentation every quarter. This year, we have been extremely fortunate that each has been sponsored, allowing us to offer it to you at no cost. We hope the trend continues! Our August webinar was entitled "The Top 10 DTCs: What to do when they show up in your shop!" And as the title implied, we counted down the most common DTCs technicians deal with. One of the interesting articles I read while preparing for the webcast reported on the most common repairs made related to check engine light concerns. Some of the items on the list made me think about the increasing dependence on databases like these as a primary diagnostic tool. The result is an often unnecessary and potentially expensive repair that doesn't correct the problem. If you're a tech who uses the results of these databases as a "shopping list" rather than an informational resource, this column is for you! |
