This week on the show I share my favorite uses of AI technology in the automotive space. I released a small presentation on AI uses in our space a couple years ago. How have I actually used this technology in my day to day life?

This week on the show I walk you through a diagnostic on a 2015 Ford F-150 that has almost no communication on the Medium speed bus. These MS Buses have given me trouble in the past when diagnosing a circuit issue. I want to share some tips and tricks to speed up diagnostics on these vehicles.

This week on the show I share my thoughts on the decision making process we face every day when trying to diagnose a problem. What factors come into play when we decide to perform a certain test? 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?

Have you ever heard someone mention "Thinking/Reasoning from First Principles" ? Ever wonder what that means? Can it be applied to the world of automotive repair/ diagnostics? Join me this week as I share my thoughts on this subject and how you might be able to apply this in your day to day operations.

This week on the show I share a case study that follows up from last week on a 2017 Honda CRV 1.5L turbo that would not start at times, and start but not idle at others. The shop had recently replaced the cylinder head and the engine was running prior to the work. The timing appears to be correct and no codes will set.

This week I'll follow up on couple vehicles from last weeks episode. The Maserati no-start and the Volvo rear hatch issue. I'll also reflect on a very challenging week I had doing mobile and how it's a contrast to what you saw in last weeks episode. Mobile isn't always a gravy train!

Join my me as I take you along with me on a full day of mobile diagnostics. The recordings are from throughout the day at each stop I made. From a Hybrid Camry HV isolation fault, to a Maserati no-start, this day was full of interesting vehicle issues. This episode is much better with the video, see the link below-
