Feb. 28, 2017—Snap-on has recently added three new "Diagnostic Quick Tips" training videos to its website and YouTube channel to help technicians speed up their diagnostic capabilities.
The videos are available at no charge and are aimed at helping technicians address specific diagnostic issues on a vehicle. The video topics include:
- Toyota Transmission Compensation Coding. From fuel injectors to transmissions, many parts on newer cars need be coded to the vehicle in order to complete a repair. This Diagnostic Quick Tip shows technicians how to perform a transmission coding procedure on a Toyota RAV 4 using a scan tool.
- Ford Flash Reprogramming. Flash reprogramming is often a necessary part of repairing vehicles nowadays, but the process can be intimidating if technicians are unsure how to do it. This Diagnostic Quick Tip shows how to reflash a Ford PCM using a Pass Thru Pro III and Ford J2534 software.
- Chrysler VVT System Cleaning. For technicians who have trouble with the variable valve timing system on a newer Chrysler vehicle, this Diagnostic Quick Tip will demonstrate how to perform the automatic system cleaning using a scan tool.
Hosted by Snap-on national field trainer Jason Gabrenas, the videos are available on the company's website and YouTube page.
