Table of contents Stories from the Road 7 * - Oil Drowned Dakota Rich running Dakota with erratic Fuel-Trims is this case in diagnostics. The shop replaced O2 sensors, did complete tune-up but to no avail. Delve into this video and learn about using the trusty 5 Gas Analyzer and the scanner. Also learn about O2 signal interpretation presented with state of the art diagrams and animations. * - Parallel Universe 4T60E Transmission Get into the world of electronic transmission diagnostics using a myriad of automotive equipment. Understand the operation of modern transmissions from these special diagrams and animations. And, when all fails then use the Clamp-On AMp probe to get to the bottom line and root cause of the issue. * - Reverse Polarity FORD F150 An ignition problem that wouldn't go away on a Ford F150. This COP or coil-on-plug ignition was a tough one. The video goes through the use of various equipment as well as reading very detailed ignition waveforms, with animations. * - Robo Techs Cousin GM Passlock Bypass The "Security" light was on on this GM antitheft system.
