You can't ! This is Something that has always Frustrated Me. When I Repair a TV, Stereo, VCR, etc. I can get the Specific Diagrams, usually a "Sam's Pack" that clearly outlines all Components, as well as Test Points, and Voltage Measurements. The Car Computers, and Instrument Panels, Climate Controls, etc. that I have Repaired are built no better than Consumer Electronics. Yet They Cost Hundreds of Dollars, and are often Difficult to Obtain Parts for. The Vehicle Manufacturers have a Virtual "Lock" on the Electronics of Vehicles . This is so Wrong ! And much of the Software Independent Auto Repair Shops need to Perform Vehicle Diagnosis Checks is kept hidden as well. I can Understand that while the Vehicle is New, and under Warranty why this is so. But the only Place, other than the Vehicle Manufacturers that have the Diagrams are Factory Authorized Aftermarket Repair Shops that Charge Hundreds of Dollar$ to do even Simple Repairs. And They don't Share Their Diagrams ! Also, all Employees who Work there must Sign a Contract Stating They will not give out any Info. on Repairs or Diagrams. One that comes to mind is "Downtown Radio" in Charlotte N.C. They are making a Fortune on ECU Repairs ! There was supposed to be a Class Action Lawsuit before the Supreme Court about the Diagrams, as well as the Software. That was Last Year. I'd like to know what Happened with that Case. Then, We'd both have our Answer !
