Much better than Automotive Diagnostic Systems: Understanding OBD I & OBD II - Before buying this book, I bought "Automotive Diagnostic Systems: Understanding OBD I & OBD II," which is the other book that will probably show up if you are searching for books on this subject. In my opinion, this book (Haynes) is infinitely better. There is simply no comparison. In fact, I wish I hadn't wasted my money on the other book now that I have received the Haynes book. I have posted a review of the other book on desertcart. Now this book is more like it! While the other book was mostly theory and spent far too much time on the history of OBD, the regulatory aspects of it, etc., and was filled with meaningless charts and graphs and loaded with errors while not even showing a single picture of an actual sensor or an under-the-hood" picture, this book (Haynes) is what someone who works on cars really needs. It is loaded with pictures of the actual sensors, showing what they look like, where they should be located, how to diagnose them with tools besides just a code scanner (digital volt meters, vacuum gauges, vacuum tools, stethoscopes, etc.) This book is for people who don't want to just read a code but who want to get their hands dirty and fix the problem. The other book hardly mentions a word about fixing problems and it doesn't have a single picture of a sensor, where it should be located, etc. Instead, it just rambles on and on about theory to the point that one might get a headache. The Haynes book is a seat-of-your pants book that tells you exactly how to diagnose and fix problems. It's also much larger and covers a lot more information. In addition, it has an excellent glossary and index, unlike the other book. In short, the other book covers basically the history of OBD, theory, and so on while the Haynes book is far more practical. People who have worked on cars for many years like myself will get a kick out of how the Haynes book makes it clear that tools like vacuum gauges are still very useful while the other book casually mentions then in one sentence as if they are some kind of historical oddity. I was happy to see that I have almost every tool them mention in the Haynes book too. So don't throw away your vacuum gauge and other tools as the other book might suggest. I'm surprised at some of the negative reviews here for this book while the other book has better ratings, although far fewer reviews. Don't let that fool you. Get the other book if you want to have your eyes glaze over on meaningless 3D graphs that often have nothing to do with the accompanying text and seem to have been just thrown in to fill up space and you don't mind numerous errors in the text (my book is all marked up with corrections). On the other hand, if you want the background information AND hands-on instructions on how to actually diagnose and fix problems, this is the book for you. The differences in the book could be summarized by saying that the other book talks about OBD theory while this book shows you how to actually use a scan tool and fix problems you may encounter. Nothing is perfect, however. The only faults I find with the Haynes book is that it's printed on cheaper paper - about a grade above newspaper grade - and the pictures are in black & white. But it has infinitely more practical information. In fact, when I finished the other book, I had learned a couple things but I knew nothing more about actually fixing problems. If you don't want to just read about theory but instead want to see what the senors look like, where they are located, how to diagnose problems, what tools you will need to fix them, etc., this is definitely the book for you. I highly recommend this book. I just wish I had bought it before buying the other book. Review: Received what I expected - I originally bought this book to learn about OBD-II scanners, but it exceeded my expectations. It not only explains scanner features and diagnostic codes but also provides a clear understanding of how vehicle sensors and systems work together, making it much easier to diagnose problems accurately. The explanations are more practical than typical service manuals, and while the paper quality is basic, the wealth of information makes this an invaluable resource for both DIY mechanics and anyone wanting to better understand their vehicle. ## Features - Step-by-step procedures Linked to over 700 easy-to-follow photos and illustrations - Complete troubleshooting section helps identify specific problems - Written from hand-on experience based on a vehicle teardown and rebuild using commonly available tools - Tips give valuable short cuts to make the job easier and eliminate the need for special tools - 700 B/W photos ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #344,632 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #174 in Civil Engineering (Books) #894 in Civil & Environmental Engineering | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,426 Reviews | ## Images ![OBD-II & Electronic Engine Management Systems (96-on) Haynes TECHBOOK - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71o5OwYw9SL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book!

It not only explains scanner features and diagnostic codes but also provides a clear understanding of how vehicle sensors and systems work together, making it much easier to diagnose problems accurately.

However I do not want the repair shop to think I I am "stupd" about my car. The price of the book is a small price considering the cost of car repairs. The book does go out of its way to explain every system that stores emission codes and the complexity of getting the problem fixed. It gives a brief explanation of each system componets. Breaking a pressurize gas line is certainly out of the question. Starting a fire or doing more harm then good is a possiblilty. If you are talented and want to work on your car it makes more sense to get a real expensive shop manual for your make and model car. They are very expensive. Or find a Automobile Repair Shop that is very very honest. I do have a code reader and book. Will they every be useful...
