Archived LiveStream: Electronic Communication and Diagnostics for the Diesel Technician
December 23, 2014
Heavy duty diagnostic capabilities have changed tremendously with increased data speed and the sheer quantity of information available to the technician. On-board diagnostic standards, similar to passenger cars, are being added to class 7 and class 8 trucks to provide greater access to diagnostic information for diesel technicians. This LiveStream will cover the history of heavy-duty communication protocols and changes to diagnostics connections.
Topics Covered:
Computer protocols SAE J1587/J1708
SAE J1939
Scan data and codes
PIN connections and network access
New heavy duty on-board diagnostics standards
RP1210 reprogramming standards
Forced induction has become the strategy of choice for manufacturers looking to squeeze more power out of their diesel vehicles while still meeting the stringent guidelines the government has put in place to regulate fuel efficiency. This LiveStream covers diesel diagnostics with a focus on turbos and turbo systems.
