In this very first “Wrench Tales” interview, Motor Age Technical Editor Brandon Steckler speaks with long-time friend and brilliant diagnostician, Chris Martino, over a 2005 Toyota Highlander. This vehicle’s crank, no-start condition gave Martino a run for his money and devoured his lunch over many attempts to draw a diagnosis. Martino runs ADAS LI diagnostic center in Long Island, New York.

Water ingress, faulty new components, compatibility issues, and corrupt software made this security system diagnosis one Martino will soon not forget. Listen to his logical diagnostic approach to research, technician networking, and implementation of the digital storage oscilloscope to solve this issue once and for all.
