New Discussion Board
May 1^st, 2015 at 4:49pm

Hey guys,

Wondering what you guys think about having a board about OE tooling. This would including issues with programming, coding and adaptations.

I know we are all diagnostic techs. But once we condemn a module it has to be replaced. Not everyone is thoroughly versed in programming or their procedures.

I myself do a lot of programming and mobile. I know other do programming themselves as well here. But what happens when your in a pickle?

You can always post it on IATN, but sometimes the thread gets hijacked or you get treated poorly.

I think having this in our arsenal and private will benefit us all here.

Wondering what your thoughts are and what Tom thinks as well?

Andy, I have talked with Scott at IATN and they just prefer to have it on their TDT board. Kinda thick headed and head technology. Smiley

Funny there is a lot of posts about programming. Must be a lot of interest Wink

Just got the Witech 2 yesterday and it is cloud based. I have to get used to navigating it

Davey, we can do anything AM or OE in this forum. It will take some stress off the general forum and making a search a lot easier.

Plus as more techs and owners get OE tooling or AM scanners. We can help each other

Thanks Tom Smiley

Hello Bob,

My thought/question of "OE tooling" prompted my asking the questions I did.

However, I do wonder what confusion may happen when scan data is confirmed/backed up with a DSO and how that may affect searches Smiley

I would think there maybe or will be some overlap of the tooling used to get to the final root of an issue.

JMHO

One thing is fer certain - - - I will learn alot Wink

Thanks

Being on this forum. There is one thing you guys have taught me besides the 3M's, is to utilize every tool available to you. Doesn't matter whether it is DSO, OE tooling, AM scanner, ETC.

There will be some over lap for sure. But I think if you of our members was snagged on a software update and one of helped him. Then lets say another member a year later has the same issue this resource may help him or her.

The other possibility is if Tom can break the discussion board down by manufacture within the board. This would increase the search engine within the board.

Just a thought.

Hey Davey, we all gonna be learning from each other on the OE side. I plan to show you guys the new Chrysler Witech 2 next week. I ordered a PCM for a 08 Jeep Liberty with the heater O2 Fubar-ed in it. I plan to use the Witech 2 to program it.

I will provide captures and some of the functions the best I can. I just started using this application. I even programmed or should say updated the door modules while the vehicle was running Cheesy

Exactly what we need. Wink

Let see if Tom can do some wonders

I a lot of programming and mobile as well. I have a lot to share with the group. Maybe JWR(John) can contribute as well. He is a serous mobile diagnostic and programmer tech. He has a lot of experience

That's not an option. You'll just have to use that in your subject line for threads.

The search engine works very well when used properly and you can refine and and also confine your search to one board if you want.
