Introduction:

This book Is devoted to the gathering of fault codes, and to the understanding and testing of the self-diagnosis element of the modem engine management system.

The book first gives a technical overview of self-diagnosis. Other Chapters describe test equipment and general test routines for individual components which may be indicated to be defective by the presence of a stored fault code. Finally, each vehicle manufacturer is given a specific Chapter with a comprehensive list of fault codes, details of how to obtain codes, and other relevant info-matron. Even If the reader has no intention ot actually attempting to investigate faults on his or her own vehicle, the oook still provides valuable insight hto self-diagnosis.

On the other hand, if you relish tho task of electronic fault diagnosis, this book will provide you with much of the background knowledge necessary to test the components and circuits on your engine. Generally, we describe how to diagnose faults using simple tools and equipment, which will be available from moat good automotive parts retailers. We also mention where the use of more specialised equipment is necessary, and describe some of the common routines used by the professional garage trade.

The vehicle manufacturers may not in fact specifically endorse a number of our tests and routines. In the main, this will be because the manufacturer’s test routines are becoming more focused on Their own dedicated test equipment which is not generally available outside of a main dealer netwo*. In almost all instances, our own tests follow well-defined testing methods taught in independent training schools, and used by many modern vehicle technical specialists. We mainly describe simple testing methods that are possible with the aid of the ubiquitous digital mufti-meter (DMM).
