Ford programming software (IDS/FDRS/FJDS) recently underwent a change in the method of subscription and access. What's the updated cost? What changed about the access? What challenges have we faced during this transition? Listen to find out

Round 2 of why won't this F@%$'n key program?! I did an episode a year ago about attempts programming keys and the challenges we face doing mobile. Today I share 2 more vehicles that we dealt with recently- A 2017 Toyota Camry and a 2018 Chevrolet Malibu. Both had pre-existing issues that presented no issues to the customer, but presented major obstacles for us when attempting to program keys.

Today on the show I share a thought process that I've been adding into my diagnostic decision making. We weigh the value of any test method we perform- How much time/effort/cost does a test require? How much does it tell me/how many things does it eliminate? When faced with a time consuming, difficult, (and often intermittent) diagnostic challenge, should we consider that a part replacement is the cheapest AND most effective test that we could perform? Is this the best value for the customer while at the same time freeing up our time for more productive...

Matthew Elder joins Tomi and I on the show this week. Matthew is a technician out of Texas, He is just beginning his path in the automotive diagnostic world. We'll share advice for being successful, Tooling options, & finding a good shop.

This week on the show I share a case study on a 2017 Chevrolet Malibu. Not charging, no power steering, idle surging, stalling at idle, no heated seats or rear defrost... All this and NO codes anywhere. A strange problem for sure, but it seems oddly familiar to a vehicle I diagnosed back in 2020. See the link below if you want to check that one out.

We often deal with strange control module issues- codes, warning lights, communication faults, or reduced functions. While the causes are numerous for each individual situation, one thing that may "fix" the issue is a battery disconnect or capacitive discharge. I'll share 3 vehicles today where a CAP discharge was the fix for strange problems.

Quite often we get called into shops for a vehicle that does not start or starts but does not continue to run and it's a perceived immobilizer issue. Sometimes it is immobilized for various reasons, but frequently, there is no actual issue in the immobilizer system, only a lack of understanding how it works normally. Today I share some helpful tips for identifying where you problem is and if the Immo system is active or not.

Ever ask yourself that while trying to program a key to vehicle? Yeah me too. This week on the show I share a case study on a 2012 Infiniti QX56 that won't let us add keys to the vehicle no matter the tool or key used. The cause turns out to be something I wasn't expecting. Listen to find out how we got there!

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?

Quite often when attempting to diagnose vehicle issues, we are challenged with understanding the strategy used by the control module to access a circuit or component. How does it assess the circuit? When does it do it? What specifically will satisfy the module or cause a fault? Can we substitute something to satisfy the computer?

It's easy to stick with what we know, are comfortable with, & what's worked well for us in the past. But we limit ourselves if we don't at least consider other's experience and perspective.

Welcome to the "Ever since you" Club. If you've been in the industry for any amount of time, you've experienced this. "My rear brakes are grinding ever since you changed my windshield wipers" Sometimes the claims made by customers are really out there. I mean, the vehicle lighting randomly flashing couldn't be caused by a transmission solenoid strategy update... could it? I make a case today to never exclude the possibility that you DID cause the issue the customer is concerned about, even if it doesn't make sense up front. The burden of proof is on us as repair...

On this week's episode I'm sharing a mindset that I like to take when I believe I've found the the problem during a diagnosis. This has helped me have a better accuracy rate and identify multiple problems. After I've gotten to the part that seems to be the issue, I like to prove myself wrong... But shouldn't I be proving myself my right?? Listen to find out where I'm going with this and how to help get to the accurate solution more often.

This week on the show I share a case study from a 2014 Acura RLX, push button start, that is a start/stall with the green key light flashing. Unfamiliar with the immobilizer system on this vehicle I need to do some research before I can pinpoint the fault. Join me as I learn the system operation and components involved.

This week on the show I share a case study on a 2013 Toyota Sienna that has issues with the HVAC system doors not moving to the correct positions. The shop has replaced almost all of the components with no change in symptoms! What I find to be the cause is rather interesting and something I've never run into before!

Today on the show I share 2 case studies, 1 on 2015 Chevrolet Impala and another on a 2017 Ford Escape. They have strangely similar problems that both occurred after a used engine installation. Oddly enough I got called to both on the same day at separate shops.

This week on the show I share a case study on a 2016 Ford Policy Interceptor Utility that was purchased at the auction. It has an ABS warning light on and a U300A code set that we can't seem to get rid of. We did not get to a conclusion on this one, but I'd like to know what you think!
