Written by Jerry Tipton, Diagnostician
When I was asked to write this article I thought, “What vehicle should I write about?” Instead of choosing just one success story that applies to one vehicle, how about writing something that applies to all vehicles? The thought that I want to convey is to pay attention to the simple things and small details alike, both when diagnosing a problem, or when removing and installing a transmission.
With today's vehicles we all know that all of the various subsystems work together to make the vehicle perform properly. Scan tools are a must with computer controlled vehicles, but common sense may play a more important role than meets the eye. Our company has multiple locations, but my shop is responsible for diagnosing and repairing wholesale sales warranty issues. These vehicles come to us from other shops that we have sold carry out transmissions to. I am directly involved with these repairs.
