Question : Auto diagnostic training?
Hi everyone I'm looking for a training program that would teach me the skills i need to do engine diagnostics. I dont have much knowlege about it but my dad tells me its a good field to get into. I cant find anything usefull on the web but What i want to bassicaly do is purchase the diagnostic tools and software to connect them to my laptop and learn how to use it to determine what what is wrong with a car, I will not be repairing it just diagnosing it. Also I'm only interested in equipment for japanese and european cars. So if anyone can help me with ideas on how to get started with this, or references to courses, or even what tools I should get, please inform me that would help me out tremendously.
Again thank you
Answer:
I work for Ford [which includes Volvo, Mazda, Jaguar, Land rover etc] and getting a job as a diagnostics engineer is superb but very complex. This end of the diagnostics chain is best because you get to design the diagnostics capability of the system BUT as a diagnostics engineer for a garage, you just read codes [VERY EASY!] and say whats wrong, not much to it.
Tools such as WDS/IDS [maybe Ford specific] are worth investigating, which read off diagnostics code and if you know the ECU Supplier, they can provide what the codes mean.
I trust this helps? I would really appreciate it if you could please rate me as BEST ANSWER :-)

Question : Shutting off warning lights on new Audi/VW autos.?
chalupas_and_beer ask this question a couple days ago and the answers were weak. What you need is a vagcom from Ross Tech. With this diagnostic tool which you connect to the obd-II and a laptop. You can read/reset all fault codes. And you can modify certain parameters. Such as turning off DRL, Remote window lowering, or log engine stats. It costs $150 and is worth every penny. You could also borrow one, TDIclub.com has a list of registered vagcom users who are willing to help. I know this is not a question but the previous answers did not answer the question. The correct answer is Vagcom.
Answer:
Yeah I feel like a Ross-tech salesman everytime I have to answer a stinkin CEL question because I have to do it every other time, and nobody listens. Its not a legit question posting but kudos anyway.

Question : I have a 1999 Ford Expedition that has some sort of grease coming out from behind the center cap.?
I have a 1999 Ford Expedition that has some sort of grease coming out from behind the center cap.?
what is causing this? and is this making my ABS light stay on?
the grease is coming from behind the left front center cap on the wheel, I have not taken the wheel off yet, I am pretty certain it is not brake fluid, unless it is brake fluid and dust mixed together?!?!?!? I just went on a 400 mile trip and nothing seemed wrong, should I take it to autozone and get a diagnostic check? any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
what do I need to do to change the seal myself? are there and special tool required
what is the piece called that I need to get from auto zone?
Answer:
It sounds like you are talking about the grease cap. Go to a car wash and wash it off. It may be that there is too much grease in it. It should be OK. The ABS is probably something else.
