On the road again (computerised car maintenance)
For better or worse, the average modern car is packed with computers; pretty well all the mechanical and electrical functions are controlled by software. If you drive a modern car the chances are that your accelerator pedal is no longer connected to the engine by anything more than a digital signal, so most of us now 'drive by wire'. The good news is that standards have evolved and car manufacturers have been forced by legislation and market forces to conform to them. This has opened up the market and it's now possible to buy a range of hardware and software solutions that enable you to hook a PC and/or PDA to your car. These range in capability; from checking to see why the engine diagnostic light has come on, to helping you tune the car and even turning on hidden features. We show how to find faults using your PC.
