Network Nightmares: Solving the Diagnostic Distress A real-world, hands-on approach to successful and productive network diagnostics
Presented by: Gary Smith, DiagNation & Adam Robertson, CARQUEST Technical Institute
Description: There is no doubt that data communications/network issues are amongst the most difficult, time consuming and costly diagnostics that we encounter. It is true that factory scan tools offer expanded testing techniques that are manufacturer specific, but even those dedicated software platforms are not enough to accurately diagnoses these problems in most cases. These problems fall into several categories; codes (some of which are real and others that are just misleading), scan tool errors, vehicle operational errors of just about every imaginable failure and more. This class is designed to provide some sound diagnostic routines and the road maps that we have developed over many years of study and application. There really isn’t any one or single routine to diagnosing these issues. In other words, we as technicians need several diagnostic routines to apply based on the situation.
