My guest is Joe Register who is the Vice-President Emerging Technologies at the AutoCare Association. This is his second interview. His first episode was episode 381 which talks about SVI (Secure Vehicle Interface).

Joe Register has over 40 years of experience delivering progressive system solutions to companies in every channel of the Automotive Aftermarket. This work includes the design and implementation of enterprise systems for two startup ventures.

Joe participates as an ANSI expert assigned to ISO TC22 Road Vehicles, ISO TC204 Intelligent Transport Systems and SAE vehicle security committees. His current focus is the industry’s adoption of secure and standardized access to in-vehicle systems to ensure today’s increasingly complex vehicles can be properly maintained and repaired.

One of his specialties are Strategic planning, program management, systems architecture/modeling disciplines applicable to business processes, data and application integration, web service design & development.

Listen to Joe’s other episodes HERE.

Key Talking Points:

  • ADASManufacturers are trying to understand what the road looks like through the eyes of sensors in the vehicleChallenges- machines can't ‘rationalize’ as humans can 
  • Sensors will have to have maintenance- will still work but will degrade  
  • Calibrating ADAS- need formalized standardsBest practices are often instructions from manufactures that are inadequate and impractical. 
  • Clean workspace clear from boxes and debris from past repairs 
  • Sensor calibration task force within SAE- meet every month with hopes to create public standards  
  • Dynamic calibration 
  • TrainingRecertification/retesting will be extremely important due to the rate of constant changes with individual sophistication and collective integrated total in systems  
  • Looking aheadRise in cost of cars- what does that mean to vehicle ownership? Older fleet of vehicles?

      The Toolbox is Last to Leave, First is the Heart
      By Joe Marconi in Joe's Blog
         0 comments
      It always amazes me when I hear about a technician who quits one repair shop to go work at another shop for less money. I know you have heard of this too, and you’ve probably asked yourself, “Can this be true? And Why?” The answer rests within the culture of the company. More specifically, the boss, manager, or a toxic work environment literally pushed the technician out the door.
      While money and benefits tend to attract people to a company, it won’t keep them there. When a technician begins to look over the fence for greener grass, that is usually a sign that something is wrong within the workplace. It also means that his or her heart is probably already gone. If the issue is not resolved, no amount of money will keep that technician for the long term. The heart is always the first to leave. The last thing that leaves is the technician’s toolbox.
      Shop owners: Focus more on employee retention than acquisition. This is not to say that you should not be constantly recruiting. You should. What it does means is that once you hire someone, your job isn’t over, that’s when it begins. Get to know your technicians. Build strong relationships. Have frequent one-on-ones. Engage in meaningful conversation. Find what truly motivates your technicians. You may be surprised that while money is a motivator, it’s usually not the prime motivator.
      One last thing; the cost of technician turnover can be financially devastating. It also affects shop morale. Do all you can to create a workplace where technicians feel they are respected, recognized, and know that their work contributes to the overall success of the company. This will lead to improved morale and team spirit. Remember, when you see a technician’s toolbox rolling out of the bay on its way to another shop, the heart was most likely gone long before that.

      Mailbag Episode: Multimeters, Electrical Diagnostics and Drivability Tricks [E180] - Diagnosing the Aftermarket A to Z
      By carmcapriotto
      Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech
      Matt Fanslow dives into listener-submitted questions, covering:
      Multimeter recommendations (why he prefers insulation testers/meggers over basic DMMs). Electrical diagnostic strategies (schematics, scan tools, and stress-testing circuits). The "Flat Rate Test Drive" (a drivability diagnostic trick for load/PID analysis). Gaming picks (Elden Ring, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and Days Gone Remaster). Scan tool advice for techs doing more drivability work.
      Timestamps:
      (00:00) – Intro 
      (02:33) – Multimeter recommendations: Why Matt avoids basic DMMs and prefers:
      Fluke 1587 or Pico TA467 (insulation testers for EVs/future-proofing). Used Vantage/Vantage Pro (graphing + scope functions). Curien (Bluetooth-enabled multimeter).
      (11:44) – Electrical diagnostic process:
      Start with a wiring schematic. Use a scan tool to check module inputs/commands. Stress-test circuits (e.g., load with a headlight for power/ground checks). Leverage relays for centralized testing (control/output sides).
      (22:48) – Shoutout to trainer Richard Velko.
      (23:17) – "Flat Rate Test Drive" explained:
      Monitor PIDs (load, MAF, MAP, O2 sensors) during WOT pulls to isolate drivability issues (fuel vs. restriction).
      (34:42) – Gaming corner: Elden Ring, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and Days Gone Remaster.
      (38:53) – Scan tool recommendations for drivability:
      HP Tuners (budget-friendly, fast data logging). Used Snap-on Solus Edge/Ultra (enhanced OEM data). Shop responsibility (tools should be shop-provided!).
      Quotes
      "I don’t buy just a pure multimeter anymore... Get an insulation tester. You’ll need it for EVs/hybrids." – Matt "The ‘Flat Rate Test Drive’ stresses the engine while watching PIDs to split the problem in half." – Matt "For drivability, HP Tuners is my top pick—great data logging without breaking the bank." – Matt
      Tools & Resources Mentioned:
      Multimeters: Fluke 1587, Pico TA467, Vantage Pro, Curien. Diagnostic Tactics: Wiring diagrams, scan tool bi-directionals, current ramping. Games: Elden Ring, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Days Gone Remaster. Scan Tools: HP Tuners, Snap-on Solus Edge, TopDon XTool.
      Final Thoughts:
      Matt’s takeaway? Invest in versatile tools (like megohmmeters) and lean on schematics/scan tools to avoid diagnostic rabbit holes.
