gone to that level for obvious safety and
even liability reasons. Beyond that, never
say never."
Older Vehicle Programming
I've also noticed that a number of aftermarket scanners have come up with
ways to reflash older models (10 to 20
years old) and are slowly gaining more
information on the newer models. As
vehicles age with time and new technology is added, these older models may
still have an affordable advantage over
the newer models. I asked FitzPatrick
whether his company is working
towards more coverage on vehicles coming out of warranty and updating their
scanners to handle more information,
or even surpass the standard manufacturer's practices.
"Autologic is always investing heavily
into [the] development of software and
capabilities," FitzPatrick says. "Scan tool
capabilities are constantly improving
across all lines and diagnostic software
is becoming somewhat of a commodity. Today's repair facility generally has
multiple diagnostic platforms that are
very competent, but they often lack the
diagnostic expertise of the OEM and
the programming coverage of the OEM.
Without access to that knowledge base,
many repair facilities lose a lot of time
and money misdiagnosing vehicles."
Both Eaton and FitzPatrick agree
there is no turning back from the days
when you could go into a parts store
and have an ECM checked or even programmed like we did in the 80s and 90s.
"The industry is moving forward
as it embraces technology, and remote
access and programming is the future,"
FitzPatrick says.
Programming and reflashing today's
vehicles is a growing business. How
involved you choose to become depends
on your shop and the needs of your customers. My advice: Don't skimp on it.
Learn it, know it, and make it a part of
your shop.
