That is a problem with over-the-road engines, as they have to be installed in so many different manufacturers' chassis. Most of our JD tractor engines are pretty much self-diagnosing. You can pull fault codes right there in the cab by doing nothing more than installing a fuse in the diagnostic slot, and the codes are displayed on the cornerpost display. Actually, if you're runing the machine at the time of the fault, you can simply push a "CODE" button on the right-hand display, and it will tell you the code number, which the operator or owner can then give to us when he calls for service. 90% of the problems are sensor failures, so if you have a list of the codes, you could fix nearly anything yourself, even if you don't have the laptop. You can do the same with a laptop and Service Advisor, and there are some other special functions that the laptop can perform, but in the majority of cases, it's not necessary. I like working with electronics and electrical systems, so I have no problem with them, but there are a lot of techs that won't touch them. It's something you have to get used to, because electronics are here to stay.
