That's right along the same lines as plugging your car into the computer to see what's wrong with it. As a tech for 40+ years if a machine like that was made I would own one.

Exactly. I might even own something newer than my 1981 k10 if that were the case. One of the hardest problems I've come across was a direct injection pump on a 2015 Acadia... Even after running scans there were still multiple possibilities.

Scanners are a great tool, but they often only narrow down the symptoms, which will lead a qualified professional like yourself toward the diagnosis. There will always be a need for experience, creativity, curiosity, and education.

The "big box" auto parts stores make killing by plugging their scanner into a customers car and selling them the part associated with the code, I wish it were that simple. We get people carrying parts in all time asking us to replace them because the part store said so. Then we have to explain that we can install their parts but we cant guarantee the fix because we did not diagnose the problem. Even after all the explaining we get people who are still mad at us because we replaced a part they brought in and asked us to replace that didnt fix their problem. There is only 1 single code that works that way, P0420 & P0430, bank 1 cat and bank 2 (if equipped) cat efficiency, these are the only codes that are associated with actual failed parts.
