The layer of electronic features on a vehicle grows every year. This means the factory service manual is more and more complex and the diagnosis of a particular problem requires more special tools and advanced repair information. Some of the special electronic tools required to diagnose a vehicle today are the obd-i / obd-ii diagnostic scan tool, oscilloscope, multifunction multimeter, tpms (tire pressure monitor system) reset tool, key programming tool and J2534 ECU calibration re-flash tool.
