The Trainer #36: Dust Off Your Scope!

Today's digital storage oscilloscopes (DSOs) can be used to test not only any electrical system on the car, but every system on the car! Test engine mechanical condition. fuel system operation and more (with some accessories). It's use is only limited by the imagination and creativity of its user, and this edition of the Trainer provides an example of just such a use.
We hope you'll find the September 2014 edition of The Trainer interesting and fun to watch, and that afterward you'll blow the dust of the scope in your shop and add this powerful diagnostic aid to your toolbox!
For specific test techniques, visit our KZbin channel page and search "Scope"!

Thanks for all the training on electrical diagnostics. I believe scopes are one of the most intimidating tools we have although now one of the most useful. Still learning on mine. Thanks again.
