Diagostic Dilemmas: Lost in ‘The Diagnostic Woods’
April 13, 2011
By Gary Goms. This real-world case study of a 2002 Chevy S-10 pickup, a 1995 Buick and a 1995 Lincoln Town Car illustrates why “chasing” trouble codes can get you lost in the Diagnostic Woods. Working as a part-time mobile diagnostic technician, I find that many techs find themselves “lost in the woods” while diagnosing engine management system failures. Although not perfect, the “lost in the woods” analogy describes the dilemma of a technician through a forest of information without a good sense of direction. Unfortunately, most of us have found ourselves in that situation more often than we would like to admit.
