Featuring the Autel MS909CV, Digital Storage Oscilloscope & Real-World Engine Data Analysis
This virtual Introduction to Technical Diagnostics course is designed for professional commercial vehicle technicians who want to increase diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, and confidence. Using the Autel MS909CV scan tool, a Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO), and recorded engine data, participants will learn how to apply a structured, repeatable approach to solving complex electrical and drivability issues.
Modern commercial vehicles demand more than simply reading fault codes—they require deep system understanding, waveform analysis, and intelligent data interpretation.
This session demonstrates how to integrate advanced diagnostic tools into a practical workflow that reduces guesswork, minimizes unnecessary parts replacement, and improves overall shop productivity.
By the end of this virtual demonstration, technicians will better understand how to leverage advanced diagnostic equipment, interpret complex engine data, and apply proven best practices to reduce diagnostic time while improving repair accuracy and profitability.
