The automotive technician of today is tasked with the everyday battle of finding solutions to the never-ending faults associated with the technological advancements of today's automobile. While finding the answer to the problem is the ultimate goal, how you approach that goal is what sets the bar for an accomplished technician (as opposed to a technician who can barely get by). It's the ideological thought process that's key here. Approaching, and not attacking, the problem is the difference between success and failure. If you've ever had the chance to watch the training videos by my friend Bernie Thompson (of Automotive Test Solutions), you can see just how performing a logical approach to a problem will lead to a successful solution, rather than just go- ing after the perceived culprit and taking that chance to miss your mark and sending your diagnostic process in the wrong direction. By doing that, you'll not only have wasted valuable time, but it could cost you (or the shop) extra money as well. To avoid this scenario, two things need to happen. One is to get as much training as you can get. And the other is to completely understand the system that you are working on. |
