Mastering Communications & CAN Dr. Norman Nall and Bill Peek make it easy to identify the cause of complex CAN & Communication problems by giving you all of the CAN and communication protocol signals used over the last 20 years on all domestic and imported vehicles. MPC Publishing & Automotive Data is the only company that shows you how to identify each manufacturer specific lab-scope pattern since they are all different. You must know the differences between manufacturer specific CAN signals or you will end up sending CAN vehicles away. The EPA has mandated by law that every vehicle made in the U.S. must be on the CAN system through at least 2012. CAN protocols have been around since 2003 and millions of these vehicles are coming out of warranty. With this DVD you will learn how to quickly and accurately service these vehicles, keep business in your shop and increase your profits. We show you how to repair CAN vehicles even when your scan tool does not communicate properly with the PCM, like when you get no scan data or service codes at all. We show you where to hook up your lab scope along the circuits so you can locate the problem. You will also learn how to tell the difference between module failures and wiring problems. Bumper to bumper programs do not give you many of the signals required to know if the modules are bad or if the vehicle has a wiring problem. This DVD shows you how to tell the difference right away. Lastly with CAN you are able to service any system that communicates with the vehicle’s PCM. We cover everything from air bags, brakes, suspension, security, System 6, you name it…anything that communicates with the vehicle’s PCM. (145 minutes) List Price: $129.95 DSO Lab Scope Operation & Diagnostics Dr. Norman Nall and Bill Peek have just published the industry’s most valuable DSO Lab Scope Operation & Diagnostics DVD and made it beneficial for all levels of users, from beginners to seasoned professionals. We start off with the basics by showing new users how to set up all the controls such as setting voltage and sweep speeds. More advanced technicians can sharpen their diagnostic skills by learning how to set up their lab scopes to find missing or extra pulses by doing advanced triggering, like using injector signals and triggers to study unevenly spaced cam and crank signals. MPC Publishing & Automotive Data go far beyond the automatic settings on lab scopes that many times do not give you the pattern you need to do the advanced diagnostics required when your scan tool is not communicating properly with the PCM. This is not just theory…we give you real world examples that require unique settings like measuring oxygen sensor response time, catalytic converter efficiency testing and other areas that will help you find problems that simply do not show up in scan data at all. Become an expert with unique control settings and maximize your diagnostic skills with a lab scope. Now you will know how to routinely isolate stable waveform patterns to work with and avoid patterns that oscillate, make no sense or fall off the screen. (105 minutes) List Price: $129.95 Misfire, No Code & Fuel Control Diagnostics Dr. Norman Nall and Bill Peek show you how to quickly diagnose and repair the most troublesome Misfire, No Code and Fuel Control problems on domestic and imported vehicles by using simple lab scope and scan tool techniques.

Bumper to bumper programs are great for re-publishing large volumes of factory data, but this is also what prohibits them from developing precise scan data that is model specific, field tested and easy to locate. This priceless CD covers every domestic car, light truck, jeep, van, mini-van and SUV from 1990 through 2003. We publish our proprietary information only after spending thousands of hours testing vehicles in real world conditions. Dr. Norman Nall and Bill Peek record readings from vehicles running at their peak performance. This way, we end up with the most accurate and complete library of signal value measurements and scan data for all the sensors and components under the hood. This information is not available anywhere else in the world. When a sensor or component is operating within the MPC ranges, you know that it is healthy. The further out from the MPC range that a component measures, the more likely it is to fail…even if it still falls within the manufacturer’s ranges. When our specifications differ from the generic OEM information, we show you their broad data alongside ours so you can see the difference. This masterpiece contains complete circuit wiring diagrams for each OBDII sensor and concise troubleshooting instructions for diagnosing each sensor and all the wires associated with it. These revolutionary OBDII sensor diagrams show you the PCM, the pin number, and how each wire is routed from the pin number directly to the sensor. This way, you get the complete circuit from start to finish. Every power, every ground, every splice and every relay is clearly displayed. We hand draw every single OBDII PCM pin connector diagram and put them on a full page so they are easy to read. We color code them just like they are in the vehicle and we tell you literally what color wire goes to which pin and what the testing signal values are for each wire. This eliminates the spaghetti bowl of other wires that have nothing to do with the circuit you are diagnosing. Our diagrams also eliminate the need to print out several pages of bumper to bumper wiring diagrams, taping them together, and the use of a magnifying glass to find the circuit that you’re diagnosing. Our expanded OBDII field-tested service code descriptions show you three unique headings that will ensure that you have fixed everything related to the code problem: “Enabling Conditions”, “Blocking Actions” and “Testing”. Enabling Conditions tell you what condition the vehicle must be in for its self-test to run. For example, we’ll tell you whether the vehicle needs a road test or a cold test. We pioneered and coined the terminology called Blocking Conditions. This is where we write directly into the code description, exactly which sensors and monitors to check, so the technician will know how to verify if there are any hidden, suspended or pending codes that will trip the check engine light after giving the vehicle back to the customer. Understanding Blocking Conditions will help you eliminate comebacks and one half of the global test drives by replicating (in your shop) the conditions needed to run the vehicle’s self tests. The Testing area gives you the exact steps to resolve the original code problem. In this section we also include the color coding of the wires that you need to test. Our master technicians and trainers give you over 30 pinpoint test procedures for such things as: resetting minimum idle, PFI testing, coolant temperature sensor, TPS sensor, map sensor, vacuum sensor, battery, ground, alternator, starter, O2 sensor testing and advanced wave form pattern analysis. Their decades of expertise in developing diagnostic short-cuts have been incorporated into our instructions. Another unique feature that we have added is a link between each sensor diagram directly to the service code description associated with it. So now when you’re working with an OBDII code that requires a sensor or monitor to be tested, you can simply click on the link with that sensor’s name on it, and a diagram with each of the wire’s diagnostics pops up instantly. Our fuel pump system diagrams are one of a kind. These diagrams have condensed circuit drawings of the entire fuel system from the PCM to the fuel pump module and include everything that lies on the circuit such as the splices, relays, switches, power and ground locations. Each diagram gives you a red highlighted overlay on the individual circuit which shows the correct place to test current flow with a volt-OHM meter so you can tell definitively if a pump is good or bad without the use of a lab scope. But, if you prefer using a lab scope for that, we give you the most complete library of lab scope patterns ever developed, with which you can tell instantly if the pump is bad. When its readings do not match the measurements, we give you instructions at the bottom of the diagram. For shops that do current ramping (or low-amps probe testing) the CD contains what is commonly known as “one time” and “peak amps” measurement values. Research shows that the low-amps probe testing can identify another 30% to 50% of the fuel injector failures that resistance values alone will not locate. MPC Publishing and Automotive Data have also eliminated the problem of finding information quickly. You simply don’t have to waste time searching for information anymore because we’ve done all the leg-work for you. This program collects all the information from all the components under the hood and puts it onto just two pages. Simply print the two pages, attach to the work order and you’re ready to begin diagnosis. Every feature on our specification CD is designed to get you to the solution for the code problem in a fraction of the time it would take to follow the convoluted diagnostic trees in your bumper to bumper programs. This treasure covers all of the 1990-2003 domestic cars, light trucks, jeeps, vans, mini-vans, and SUVs.

Technicians frequently try to use operating principles valid for one manufacturer to diagnose vehicles from another manufacturer. Often times, this can make quick and accurate diagnosis difficult. This collection will bring you up to the level of an experienced dealer technician who has a complete understanding of his manufacturer’s vehicles. A simple thing like checking the alternator is more complex when you factor in the way that GM, Ford and Chrysler control their alternators. Newer Fords have a PCM-to-alternator communications system where the PCM communicates the target voltage for current operating conditions, while GM has an ON/OFF control and lets the internal regulator set the target voltage. Chrysler uses the PCM to control field current which replaces the regulator. If you are going to replace an expensive alternator take a minute to make sure you have checked it out properly. It will only take you five or ten minutes. Crank pick-ups, cam pick-ups, MAF, MAP, starter control with anti-theft and ignition control have the same types of differences. MPC Publishing & Automotive Data’s series for guided diagnostics on domestic vehicles is ideal for technicians who have not had experience working with all the different variations used by The Big 3. This is the easiest way to give any technician the specialized skills he would have acquired if he had worked on one dealer’s vehicles every day of his career. (360 minutes) List Price: $129.95 for all 3 DVD’s J2534 Flash Updating & Computer Controlled Starting and Charging Dr. Norman Nall and Bill Peek cover starting and charging systems including computer controls. Learn how to quickly test the basic circuits and how computer controls work with them. This video shows you where to connect your lab scope and other test equipment to test each function. You get basic meters and high tech solutions with other products, plus an overview of J2534 operations. J2534 allows you to update all manufacturers programs. Each manufacturer has proprietary software that you install into your computer, and capabilities of what can be updated vary according to manufacturer and model. This is a valuable overview and primer for getting started with flash updating & computer controlled starting & charging. (256 minutes) List Price: Free with the purchase of any other program EVAP Diagnostics Dr. Norman Nall and Bill Peek show you how to deal with the most unprofitable repair on OBDII vehicles, EVAP Codes. The major problem is that the EVAP Monitor can only run once a day. It has very strict temperature parameters and all the OEM documentation refers to how the monitor self tests, but we show you that you don’t have to stick to the “one time a day only” tests. We’ll show you how to run your own test to manually operate the EVAP System and duplicate what the monitor does…any time of the day, with your scan tool. This DVD eliminates the need for specialized OEM tools, convoluted test procedures or a worldwide diagnostic tester. Correcting gas cap problems only fixes a third of the EVAP codes which leaves you with many EVAP problems that will cost you time and money. This program shows you how all the separate components work together and how the system works as a whole. We’ll show you an exceptionally accurate technique that works on all domestic and imported OBDII vehicles using service code descriptions for diagnostic direction and scan data readings to identify the problem. MPC Publishing & Automotive Data give you a three to four minute test procedure that isolates the causes for all EVAP problems…even problems that smokers can’t find, like leaking purge cylinoids or leaking valves. We show you how to service all of the earlier OBDII EVAP systems as well as the latest OBDII EVAP systems since they differ. This is not a theory video; this is practical application of the data you get from the vehicle. (60 minutes) List Price: $99.99
