Automotive Code-to-Flowchart Repair (Ford‪)‬

The beginnings of this book came about from the development of various different products, including the Scan-1 Scan-Tool Diagnostic System and the OBD-2 secret weapon diagnostic software by the same author. After development a large amount of information had been accumulated and it was then decided to put it on a book series. All DTCs we acquired from a large bank of ECMs converted to test the development of the Scan-1. As a result, the backward engineering of the DTCs was possible and allowed us to compile the largest selection of factory codes (DTCs) on record.

All DTC definitions in this book series are the result of such development. Coincidentally from our OBD-2 secret weapon software, we derived the technology to develop easy to understand flowcharts. Although these products did not have flowcharts, the program algorithm or logic allowed us to convert into flowcharts fairly quick.

Our flowcharts were developed by our team from our software and equipment technology. You won't find these flowcharts, which often tend to be useless from manufacturer data, anywhere else. Here we present an easy and fast way to tackle electronic diagnostic and repair issues, which apply to both the DIY and professional technician as well. Our book series cover Domestic, Asian and European makes and it is by far the most complete in way of information. This book series can be used for training as well as during repair work. Enjoy…
