The reason we always advocate for scanning first is for precise diagnosis and accurate replacement of faulty parts which is a more professional way of resolving auto issue and thus saves the client more money at the end of the day .this is opposed to the old tradition style of artisan kazeem who belive in better judgement of using his senses eg feeling and sound to diagnosis problems and throwing of spare part at problems so as to resolve issues.this kazzeem approach will cause u to spend more money and the issue will still persist .
Cars nowadays are growing more advanced and sophisticated with increasing number of control modules ,sensors and actuators and the only way to catch with this modern trend is to invest in more training and state of the art diagnostic scan tool.

Unless the CEL is on then scanning a car is not totally professional.

A true professional mechanic uses the scan as part of his toolbox.

honmusa:

A true professional scans to retrieve live data for proper analysis not chasing after dtcs and mil.
Dtcs and mil can even lead professional astray at times and not all problem illuminate the mil and dtcs but if u know your onion well in auto diagnotics, streaming live data with proper analytical skill can solve a complex problems in a jiffy.

CityNG:


None of this will tell OP if he has a missing cat.

I can sense your excitement with live stream, something I've been using since 2000 or so but its not the end of it all.

Reliance on technology alone doesn't cut it, also having access to live data doesn't turn an average wrenched into a professional mechanic.

honmusa:

That u have been using it since donkey years doesn't means u know how to use it correctly even from ur statement I can infer that ur from level of reasoning ur type (kazeem) can only work on old Toyotas ,hondas
Checking for bad cat is very simple on ur live data ,just compare the behaviour of your post cat with the present cat u can know if u have a bad cat even without any physical examination.what u cannot comprehend u ask clarification .
