Dave Hobbs is at it again in his new class on F.R.E.D.s (Frustrating Ridiculous Electronic Devices)–coming soon from Automotive Video. Do you know what to do when your scan tool says “No Communications”? Can you quickly diagnose those dreaded “U-Codes” that report serial bus problems? The average vehicle today has more than $8,000 in electronic content with more modules (a.k.a. F.R.E.D.s – Frustrating Ridiculous Electronic Devices) as well as smart sensors connected to communications networks. In order to accurately diagnose, you must understand how these systems work.
This video will show you how you can use your volt meter, ohm meter, lab scope and scan tool to diagnose network problems on the vehicles in your shop. Both the latest CAN buses as well as earlier networks on Ford, GM, Toyota, & Chrysler are not only explained – veteran AVI instructor Dave Hobbs shows you exactly how to get to a diagnostic decision quick with the latest real world training. Watch the hands-on training action, learn all the latest tricks and kick that CAN bus problem right out the door!
Still unsure if you need this DVD? This is a completely expanded and updated course from Dave’s original “F.R.E.D. Takes The Bus.” If you purchased that video and liked it – you will LOVE this latest project that demonstrates diagnostics on all makes and models of vehicles ranging from 10 years old to brand new!
