| 11.1 Introduction
11.1.1 Overview If like me you continue to be fascinated by the technology of the automobile, then you will also be interested in the future technology. Figure 11.1 is an illustration of how technology has developed and perhaps how it will continue to do so. To keep up to date you will have to keep learn- ing! But remember, the way in which you apply your knowledge is just as important as the know- ledge itself. Logic is the key to diagnostics. This final chapter includes some general infor- mation about web resources and software but also gives an overview of diagnostics to date – and possible future developments. 11.1.2 The future of diagnostics What does the pace of technology change mean for the diagnostic technician? On-board diagnostics will continue to develop but there will always be a need for the highly skilled diagnostic technician. In the recent past, due to the cost and complexity of some equip- ment, only the large main dealers could afford it. However, it is now possible to buy excellent scan- ning or code reading equipment for just a few hundred pounds/dollars. If you continue to keep up to date with the technology, learn how to use good quality basic test and scanning equipment, and apply the diagnostic processes highlighted in this book, you will never be short of work! 11.2 Web contacts 11.2.1 Introduction Like almost everybody, you are no doubt already interested in the Internet and the World Wide Web. In this short section I have highlighted some of the resources available to you on the net. All the major vehicle manufacturers have web pages as do most of the parts suppliers. There are user groups, forums for discussions and many other sources of information, or lets admit it – sites that are just good fun! So go ahead and surf the net. I would be most pleased to meet you at my site where you will find up to date informa- tion about my books, new technologies and links to just about everywhere (Figure 11.3). Just point your browser to: www.automotive-technology. co.uk All the links in the next section can be accessed from here as well as many more. It will also be kept up-to-date as I find more interesting places to visit. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for useful links – I am mostly interested in sites that tải về 7.07 Mb.
