• 279: Ford Medium Speed Bus Diagnostics
    Oct 28 2024

    This week on the show I walk you through a diagnostic on a 2015 Ford F-150 that has almost no communication on the Medium speed bus. These MS Buses have given me trouble in the past when diagnosing a circuit issue. I want to share some tips and tricks to speed up diagnostics on these vehicles.

  • 277: What Goes Into Making A Decision In Diagnostics?
    Oct 13 2024

    This week on the show I share my thoughts on the decision making process we face every day when trying to diagnose a problem. What factors come into play when we decide to perform a certain test? What weights do we place on each possible test? How the the restriction of time come into play? What mental biases do we bring into our work?

  • 274: Honda CRV Diagnostic Follow Up
    Sep 21 2024

    This week on the show I share a case study that follows up from last week on a 2017 Honda CRV 1.5L turbo that would not start at times, and start but not idle at others. The shop had recently replaced the cylinder head and the engine was running prior to the work. The timing appears to be correct and no codes will set.
