-
Transmission issues (problems shifting, whining, etc.)
-
A/C diagnostics
-
Emissions diagnostics (smoke testing, leak detection, etc.)
Level Three:
Advanced drivability diagnostics and electrical diagnostics
-
Advanced pinpoint testing
-
Tracing wiring issues on electrical systems
-
Issues that occur intermittently
-
Multiple system diagnostics
