Custom OBD-II diagnostic workflow for complex vehicle fault identification.
A fleet operator was spending thousands on repeated workshop visits for intermittent electrical faults that mechanics couldn't reliably reproduce or diagnose.
KL8 developed a custom OBD-II logging setup using a Bluetooth adapter and Python-based data capture tool, recording live sensor data during fault events. Pattern analysis identified a faulty crankshaft position sensor only triggering under specific load conditions.
The root cause was identified in one session, compared to three failed workshop attempts spanning six weeks. The fleet operator saved an estimated $4,200 in unnecessary parts and labour.
