Auto Mechanic Tools & Equipment List: 26 Tools You Need to Fix Cars Right ”To fix cars successfully, you need three primary ingredients: knowledge, ability, and—you guessed it—tools. You can have all of the know-how and capability in the world, but unless you have the proper tools and equipment on hand, you're not going to be very successful at working on cars. ” Read Full Story CarParts.com Heads to Martinsville with McDowell and Co-Partner Davico For our last race of the season, we're excited to get back on the track with Michael McDowell on Sunday, November 1st, at Martinsville Speedway. This time, we'll be joined by our friends at Davico Manufacturing, who will be making their debut in the NASCAR circuit as a co-partner. Get the Full Story Correct Answer: B Only technician B is correct. Even though the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) created the standardized list of OBD-II diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), the exact definition of each code often varies by vehicle. For example, code P0740 is defined by SAE as "Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Circuit/Open." But the factory repair information for a 2010 Dodge Ram defines the code as "Torque Converter Clutch Out of Range." The first definition makes you believe you're dealing with an electrical problem, while the second definition sounds more like a mechanical concern. If you were to take the OBD-II code definition at face value without doing any further troubleshooting, you could end up wasting time and money. That's why it's a good idea to consult a repair manual or an online repair database when troubleshooting DTCs. It's also important to note that not all vehicles support all codes. For instance, the list of possible codes you could retrieve from a 2010 Chevy Malibu will differ from that of a 1999 Toyota Camry.
