Rating:  Summary: Recommended for the automotive technician Review: After reading this book and looking at some of the reviews here, I would strongly recommend it to the automotive repair technician who wants to know the basics of OBD II. This is a good starting point for someone who wants to become a better driveability technician.After 15 years in the automotive industry, I'm still surprised how little some technicians know about the OBD II standard and why it was developed. You cannot fix an automobile with this book, but it will teach you the basics you need to know before moving onto more advanced training in driveability diagnosis.

Rating:  Summary: obd ll diagnostic secrets revealed Review: good book, very informative, definitely recommend
Rating:  Summary: GOOD BOOK FOR STARTERS Review: Good start for a Techie Need more information on EOBD to complete the book
Rating:  Summary: I expected more. Review: I am a hobbyist/shad tree mechanic. The history was nice but not necessary for me. I was looking for a lot more than a huge trouble chart. More about how each sensor work. More about how to interpret the code reader. More about what sensor readings are going to be call bad by the ECM. And less about cooking meals.

Rating:  Summary: I paid fifty bucks for this? Review: I am very disappointed in this book. Chapter 1 covers the four strokes of an internal combustion engine. Yep, just like you learned in 8th grade. Nobody running OBD-II diagnostics needs to cover that material. Chapter 3 appears to be cribbed from the CARB Web site (http://www.arb.ca.gov/html/brochure/history.htm). There's a chapter full of recipes -- and while I'm sure they're delicious, that's not why I bought an OBD-II book. This leaves around 170 pages of actual material, and that is filled with dozens of typographical and content errors that range from distracting to confusing. The information that remains is somewhat useful, but not worth the cover price.
Rating:  Summary: OBDII Diagnostics Secrets Revealed Review: I can only 1/2 recommend this book. Given in CA every other car is Audi, VW, Volvo, Saab, Toyota, Subaru, Nissan, MB, etc. This book only covers Ford GM and Chrysler. However, given there are so few books of any description on OBDII or EOBD, this serves as a good beginner for the DIY enthusiast. However, I would appreciate if a similar book existed to cover all the missed applications above. In addition, the named missing names above are also the most likely NOT to provide this type of information in their Official Workshop Manuals, so the need is even greater than for Ford, GM and Chry.
Rating:  Summary: The First Step to understanding OBD II Review: I found the book to be very informative. This book is written to capture the attention of everyone from the beginner to the expert. After reading this book, I feel as though I have a better basic understanding of how the OBD works and why it is there. I would recommend this book to any one that is interested in taking the first step to learning OBD II concepts and strategies.
