Diagnostic Methods: Overview

The Diagnostic Methods Section provides information on routine diagnostic tasks.

When following powertrain diagnostics on vehicles with on board diagnostics (OBD), the system may be checked by an off-board tester referred to as a scan tool. This part contains information for carrying out diagnostics with a scan tool. A scan tool has certain generic capabilities that are standard across the automotive industry in the United States and Canada. All functions are selected from a menu. Refer to the instruction article provided by the tool manufacturer.
