Assembling the Diagnostic Driveability and Electrical Puzzle Pieces.
In many of the Diagnostic presentation that I have seen over the years (including some of my own) there is a part of the diagnostic process taught. In this presentation, I would like to start with the initial consumer concern and go through the entire procedure ending with the “ROOT CAUSE” of the issue, Not the results.
By developing a consistent, repeatable procedure it will keep the shop and the technician profitable. I was taught years ago by my mentor that the difference between a Business and a Hobby is that one of them makes a Profit, so let’s spend some time analyzing how to get into the correct area of the concern with General Test procedures then drive down the funnel to arrive at the actual concern using detailed Pinpoint test procedures.

Using Ignition waveforms to determine driveability problems. In this presentation, Jim from Morton’s Automotive Technical Services will show the technician all the valuable information there is in an ignition waveform, both primary and secondary. Jim feels this is becoming a dying art due to the fact of the problems and cost of secondary adapters. Also, most techs that try to use this information only know and use the firing KV and maybe the burntime. There is an unbelievable amount of information in the Spark KV, Dwell and the condenser/coil oscillation areas.
Join us and look at what the ignition pattern is trying to us.

Preparing for the evolving negotiation processes within collision repair and what you need to know.
The landscape for the “negotiations” within the collision repair ecosystem have changed significantly over the last several years. This training module will cover some of the drivers of the change, how to prepare for and deliver effective communication with superior negotiating positions. We will identify the ongoing concerns with insurer positioning with their customers and how it has changed as well as the lack of professionalism occurring in B to B transactions. What do you do when someone says “no”?
Topic to be presented by Richard Sharman Executive Coach Collision ATI
Setting customer expectations for Collision Repair Processes
Consumers are typically unprepared for the post-accident claim experience. When their vehicle is damaged it becomes a highly stressful and frustrating time. Helping the customer to prepare for the “what’s next” will help them feel more confident in the experience as well as giving them insight as to what they will experience. During this training module we will take a look at several different areas of the claim and repair processes that collision repair shop owners should be educated in. This will help us better prepare customers to journey through the mine field of claim processing more specifically how the policy and regulatory processes drive conversations and outcomes.

Pinpointing the Reason for Incomplete Monitor Tests
This workshop is designed for the technician working with a MIL-commanded ON. Whether or not the technician is part of an emissions program, the commanded MIL means an emission failure has occurred. The technician is now working for the PCM. Failing to work for the PCM runs the risk of not satisfying the owner, missing monitor test blocking conditions, making unnecessary repairs, and increasing the chances of a comeback.
There is valuable data to be collected from the scan tool while sitting in the driver’s seat. Every DTC that turns on the MIL has a related monitor test. The MIL commanded ON means a monitor test ran and failed. Learn to use MODE $09 (In-Use Performance Monitor Tracking) and MODE $06 (Test Results) to identify some difficult-to-run monitor tests. Case studies will demonstrate this systematic approach.
Because it can be challenging to determine which monitor test(s) within the group prevented completion, Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS) will phase in starting in 2024. UDS will include IUPMT, detailed DTC failure bits, and expanded DTC status bits for every monitor test capable of setting a DTC. It is designed to decrease diagnostic time and improve the diagnosis's accuracy.
PM Workshop
Variables to Verifying the Success of a Monitor Test Repair
While attempting to verify a repair, some variables can prevent a monitor test from running. The PCM cannot verify the repair if a monitor test does not run. Variables to running a monitor test include identifying the correct enable criteria, blocking conditions, establishing a sufficient inferred exhaust time, knowing the difference between parallel and series monitor tests, test samples and flow counts, minimum and maximum monitor test time, normal and fast filtering, and exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA). Grouping PIDS related to specific monitor tests will also be discussed.

My Bio: I'm Oscar Gomez, and I'm the director of Master Automotive Training as well as an ASE Master Technician. My goal is to improve the auto industry one technician at a time, and I believe the most effective way to do that is to invest in education. I love teaching others what I know. When I'm not teaching, I like to go for long bike rides on the road or fly planes. My goal is to encourage both new and experienced technicians to keep learning and growing, both as people and as professionals, so that they can become better. I want to give back to the industry that has helped me so much by one day sitting in on one of my students' classes and watching them teach.

Learning programming will teach Tech’s a lot about how the particular manufacturer line thinks. They need to learn this as it is an every day part of car repair today. Programming is not going away.....it is and will be a growing aspect of automotive repair. If they are not doing programming....they are paying someone to do it...which is counter productive to business. The ability to program saves immense amounts of time and makes the shop more profitable and makes the tech more money. They will learn how to program most vehicles but will most importantly know that they will have a REAL support staff behind them to get them thru any programming issue they are having. They will need our custom laptops which we will explain in full detail how important the laptop is. They will need a j-2534 pass thru device. They will need a clean power supply for the car and will know why they need it.
BIO:
Mike Muck
AE Tools & Computers
Industry Professional since 1985
In the mid-80s I began my career in the automotive aftermarket driving a mobile tool truck. I didn’t grow up in the
industry, I just thought it would be cool to have my own tool truck, so that’s what I did. All was good, but by the early
2000s, the needs of my customers shifted. The focus was on diagnostics and programming, and they needed support.
I decided to become part of the solution. This transition occurred as J-2534 rolled out to the aftermarket, so I started
figuring out the new pass-thru device on my own. At the time, there was really no where to go for training. Fortunately
for me, a good friend owned a salvage yard and he provided me countless modules to train myself on (by the way, I
blew up plenty of modules in the beginning).
As I got to where I became something of an asset to my customers for diagnostics and programming there began
to be a transition. They didn’t need me as a tool man anymore, they needed me as solution to their diagnostic and
programming needs. By 2009, I’d signed on as an Automotive Service Representative with Bosch Diagnostics. I wanted
to provide a solution to the customers in my territory so they could do everything the dealer could. I realized quickly
however, that the need was much larger--everybody in the aftermarket needed help. I was constantly bumping into
AE Tools & Computers throughout the Midwest.
Rather than exist in the same market, we partnered. In 2014 we brought together a shared perspective and common
goal for the aftermarket---bring our customers to the next level--the dealer level. Our goal is to be a strategic business
partner with our customers. If you want to fix cars, improve the bottom line and do everything the dealer can do, we
can get you there.
