Just got my copy yesterday. It has a lot of interesting info, especially on
how to check and troubleshoot all the electronic bits in the car.

Got mine today and just skimmed through it, stopping to read several sections. I think it's FANTASTIC.... armed with this and a good graphing DVOM, I can figure out a heckuva lot of issues if and when they arise... the pinouts and test values alone are worth the price of the book.... while this isn't designed to be a "page turner"... actually reading and understanding what's in here will provide a TON of insight to how our cars actually work - what sensors the ECU is reading, and what it's doing with all that info... which forms the basis of good rational diagnosis, empowering you to answer questions like "I wonder what would make the car do THAT?!?!"
