Technical Topics are document based workshop information source designed and written with the sole objective of helping you to fix cars. They are issued on a monthly basis. The benefits of using technical topics are, quicker diagnostic times, increased fix rate, improved right first time diagnosis, reduction in information searching and they provide on-the-job learning. popular systems and applications, along with descriptive notes, diagnostic guidance, known issues and common faults. Every issue of technical topics looks in detail at a particular vehicle system relevant to automotive technicians.

They include images of the system as well as oscilloscope waveforms and other measurements from the systems key components. technical topics provide an invaluable technical resource whilst in the workshop facing the problem vehicle.
 

This full size A4 book takes the reader through using an oscilloscope for automotive diagnostics. Oscilloscope Diagnostics takes the reader through getting to grips with this powerful method of diagnostic testing. Measuring Amps as well as Volts during a diagnostic routine will enable you to make quick accurate diagnostic decisions by testing and not guessing!

In failing electronic circuits, measuring Volts alone will give you only half the picture. Use your oscilloscope, voltage probe and low amps clamp to get the FULL picture.

The book has been written by a UK Diagnostic Specialist who has been involved in diagnostics since the electronic revolution in the 80's. It deals with real problems and real vehicles using straightforward language. The book contains sample waveforms with detailed descriptions as well as illustrations and diagrams.

The price includes shipping to the UK. International customers (including Eire) please note that additional shipping charges apply.

CAN Bus Test Box
(including VAT and UK Shipping)

CAN Test Box, includes test leads for scope, CD ROM instruction guide.

TESLite
(including VAT and UK Shipping)

Smart multimeter test leads, test don't guess. Use the TESLite to test the circuits ability to carry enough current to power the motor, lamp, relay, injector etc.

CAN you answer the following questions:

1) How do you identify a CAN enabled vehicle?
2) What fault would be indicated by a resistance of 0.6 Ω between CAN High and Can Low, and what symptom would be evident?
3) What voltage difference should you expect to see if the CAN is OK?
4) What should you do differently to accurately diagnose CAN vehicles?
5) How should the multi meter or oscilloscope be setup to diagnose the High Speed CAN?
6) Why do CAN vehicles have several different networks?
7) What is a CAN Gateway and how do you test it?

All these questions and more are answered in our latest publication. Full of 'need to know' information including case studies, test data, a trouble shooter flow chart and sample waveforms.
