Why reading a code is just the starting point, not the answer
How modern vehicles use complex networks of sensors and modules
What diagnostic time actually pays for (tools, data, training, testing)
The difference between guessing and confirming a root cause
Real examples where skipping diagnosis led to bigger problems
Why accurate diagnosis saves money long-term
