Introduction to scanner diagnostics
History and evolution of scanner diagnostics, electronic standards and types of scanners by application.
OBDII and EOBD, code and live data reading, connectors and software, procedures like forced regenerations and parameter resets, on gasoline and diesel.
Recorded classes with theory and practice, on demand and at your own pace.
Downloadable material with the course content to consult in the shop.
Access to the Openauto community to ask questions and share real cases.
Digital diploma that backs your training when you finish the course.
In-person training is expensive, halts your operation and often teaches theory you can't apply. Meanwhile, customers want more power, better performance and diagnostics your basic scanner can no longer solve.
History and evolution of scanner diagnostics, electronic standards and types of scanners by application.
Origins and goals of OBDII and EOBD, the importance of regulation and the main features and requirements.
Reading error codes, using live data and monitoring actuators and systems through the scanner.
OBDII connectors, software for PC, laptop and smartphones, and scanners with enhanced (OEM and application-specific) capabilities.
Readiness Status verification, interpretation of pending and active DTCs, and datastream analysis.
Key signals in diagnostics, typical scanner reading parameters and actuator evaluation.
Concepts and terminology of OBD-II monitors and practical diagnostic application on different vehicles.
Modern methods to program without errors and in a fraction of the time. Ready-to-use templates.
When you finish you get a digital Openauto Academy certificate that backs your training with customers.
Study when you can: the material is recorded and the group mentorships stay available to review.
Every week, live, an instructor reviews the group's real cases, helps with .bin files and answers questions.
A complete library from fundamentals to advanced topics — always available, with search.
Access to our AI copilot trained on the Openauto method: it helps you with .bin files, maps and diagnosis instantly.
Over a decade programming ECUs in real workshops before building Openauto Academy. No classroom professors: you learn from engineers and technicians who have lived off chiptuning since 2010.
"Thanks to engineer Andrés Meléndez's courses —electronics, common rail and WinOLS 1, 2 and 3— I grew my income without having to leave my country. Today I serve workshops inside and outside Venezuela."
"I started knowing nothing. With WinOLS 1, 2 and 3 I learned to load reprogrammings and to diagnose in the shop. I also recommend the ECM and RaceEVO courses."
"I took Open Auto's programming bundle and it helped me a lot. Today I diagnose and do jobs I didn't dare to before. Andrés explains things very well."
"Thanks to Open Auto I learned to do reprogrammings and to get the most out of diagnostic tools and map editing."
"We do reading and programming of DPF OFF and EGR. Open Auto's training was a key pillar for my professional growth."
