KEY PROGRAMMING & SERVICE INDICATORS

Autodata’s 2008 Key Programming and Service Indicator Manual

...provides information for programming of key/remote transmitters for remote control alarms and central locking systems, programming of key/remote transmitters for stand alone immobilizer systems, battery replacement for the key or remote control transmitter, and resetting procedures for the service interval indicator lamps.  Since remote control convenience systems have been around for more than 10 years and immobilizer systems for more than 5 years on most models, this information is very relevant to the aftermarket automotive repair industry. Normally this information has been available only to the dealer franchise system. As an example, the service interval indicator warning device on the fascia may be flashing or the “light on”, a major annoyance to the customer.  How do you put the light out? Or, the engine starts then immediately dies, coupled with rapid flashing of the engine management warning lamp – a typical example of an immobilizer/key recognition fault.  How do you reset the key/immobilizer? Autodata’s new manual provides the answers. Model range is 1998-2008.

 Description: We've added hundreds of new labor operations-including maintenance services and electronic system diagnosis to the Chilton 2007 Labor Guide Manuals. All labor times for the 1981 through 2007 domestic and imported vehicles consider the real world environment in which technicians work. The parts terminology is more standardized across different OEMs to simplify reference. You can reference any of three labor times for many models: Chilton’s Standard and Severe Service times, plus OEM warranty time. Each OEM is arranged alphabetically by section for easy reference, and improved indexing means easier access to today’s repair industry standards. Chilton labor times are accepted by most insurance and extended warranty companies. Vehicle makes and models conform to current Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association standards. Make sure you have the latest edition of these manuals because our experts have updated hundreds of labor times for earlier models as well!

    Features:

  • a total of 2,500 pages of updated Chilton labor times split into two volumes (Domestic and Imported vehicles)

The ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTER CD-ROM

Have you ever wondered how nice it would be if you could do those "complicated" transmission repairs and increase your revenues? Here it is: The Electronic Transmission Control System Troubleshooter CD-ROM. This repair software is by far the most complete on the market today, covering the entire range of facts, specifications, trans-specific wiring diagrams, transmission faulty codes, repair-procedures and oil-pan identification. A specific section is also devoted to faulty-code analysis. If you've seen all those "Solenoid Circuit Always High/Low" and "Component Performance" codes, and wondered what they mean or they apply to your repair, then this product is for you. The only repair software that will give you a detailed analysis for all the 500 transmission specific codes within the OBD-2 system. This is not to be confused with code definition, which is also provided. The code analysis is a brief detailed and real-life based explanation as to what type of problem you're dealing with and "IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO OPEN AND REBUILD" the transmission. This is priceless information. All manufacturers are now relying almost exclusively on OBD-2 Transmission codes. This software covers all OBD-2 specific codes which are the P07XX, P08XX, P09XX, and P27XX codes. The manufacturer specific P17XX codes are also covered. Another section covers the resistance values and testing procedures for each transmission component. The entire software is vehicle and transmission specific. Here are all the transmissions covered within this software:

Another feature of this software is how photograph intensive it is. Often times the repair shop orders the electrical electrical solenoid or component to find out, once the transmission is opened, that the part sent was the wrong one. No more... now you can determine, from the real-life photos found in this software whether the part sent is the right one. Other sections also show shift and pressure control solenoids valve-body position identification, real-life valve body photographs, check-ball position when rebuilding the transmission, ability to print all information and an expanded oil-pan transmission identification section, with model, application and print-out ability. In summary, this is a complete transmission solution for electronic repairs and re-builders.

CLIMATE CONTROL & AC TROUBLESHOOTER

The Climate Control and AC System Troubleshooter software is simply the best and most complete diagnostic software system on the market for the money. This simple to use, but powerful software is fully interactive. Special sections are included for "Pressure Analysis", which will save the technician lots of diagnostic time and money. The program asks the technician to change a set of gauges (High and Low) on the screen by inputting "LOW" and "HIGH" pressure values. Then the tech presses a button and the software will calculate possible causes from hundreds of scenarios, down to the faulty component. This is a very powerful feature.

Other sections include specific wiring diagrams per manufacturer and system, climate control and electronic air diverter flap motor/actuator tests, and accessing AC codes without a scanner (whenever possible). Most climate control systems can be diagnosed by pressing a series of buttons on the dash. This is a very closely guarded secret. The average tech will need to spend a large amount of money on books to get this information.

This software is based on practical tried and tested observation and applications. The information here is not contained anywhere else. It has been compiled from a practical knowledge base and experience. More features include charge specifications, charging the system using pressures and without a scale (if allowed in your State or Country), English to Metric and Decimal to Ounces conversion interactive section, electrical tests, taking the AC system out of Fail-Safe-Mode, as well as many other helpful tips to make the job easier. Simply put, this is a complete package deal.

This software will run on the following systems: Microsoft Windows™ 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP and Vista

OBD 2 (What Fails?)


CLICK Photo for larger image

the main menu page is the heart of the program.  From here you’ll be able to access any section of the software.  As you can see, the menu options are divided into 3 easy steps, with sub-steps within each one.

STEP 1 is the information gathering phase of the diagnosis.  Within this phase, you’ll be able to gather all the clues necessary to continue with the diagnostic process.  You’ll input information collected with your scanner, and ultimately, the software will generate not only a customer report, but also more importantly, a technician’s report that will then tell you what to do in STEP 2 of the program – data analysis.

 

The technician’s report generated in the first phase of the program exposes the areas that need attention and those that don’t.  By simply concentrating on the problem area(s), you’ll save time and money. 

In this example, the technician’s report indicated that one area that needed further testing/ analysis is fuel trim.  Above is the data analysis phase (Step 2) for the fuel trim monitor. (If your technicians need it, the testing procedures as well as acceptable ranges are provided here).  By simply answering the questions asked by the program, the software will automatically direct you to the next step!

STEP 3 is the final procedure phase and most faults have been resolved by the time you reach this portion of the program.  This phase includes the different procedures for erasing the faulty codes as well as the procedures for adClick photo for larger imageaptive memory clearing or resetting.  As you know, this resets the vehicle back to the original memory matrix. 

 Sub-step 2 of this tells you technician the procedure to run the drive-cycle according to the make of the vehicle in question.  Of course, it’s a normal part of the repair procedure, and the more information you have on it, the faster it gets run.  Saving time is what it’s all about!  After all, time is money!
