Independent mechanics to get codes to diagnose your car
Date: Monday, 21. January 2008
Up to now, auto manufacturers have cited security as the reason to restrict access to the codes that allow mechanics to use handheld computers to diagnose the mechanical status of cars. For example, they said, the anti-theft system code could be used to break into similar vehicle models and the air bag system code could be used to install a fake air bag and sell the real one to another customer. Dealers' contracts force them to be careful with the codes, but lack of access meant that independent mechanics, and home repairers, could not adequately service modern machines. It also meant more expensive repairs, since, according to the AAA, dealer labor rates tend to run $10 to $20 per hour higher than independent shops
However, the Automotive Service Association has been lobbying vigorously for more open access to the codes. A hearing held before the U.S. Congress this past summer threatened to force automakers to share the codes. Now, they will become available on the Internet at a "reasonable price."
