You can purchase a new guide at autolift.org and there is even an electronic version you can use on your phone, tablet, or computer. When you first pull the car into the bay, the basic rules of spotting the vehicle remain the same. If possible, leave the car in neutral so it can be rolled to help position the lift pads on some EVs.

I had a 1998 E320 4MATIC wagon, and I absolutely loved that car in the winter. Figure 4 ESP and ETS All 4MATIC systems use an Electronic Traction System (ETS) and an Electronic Stability Program (ESP). The hydraulic control module on a 4MATIC has at least 12 valves. I can attest to this myself.

The typical sign of a worn hinge pivot is normal travel on the lever or pedal, but the parking brake will not hold the car on a hill. The parking or emergency brake has to perform two distinct jobs.

The first reaction is often, “We don’t do that type of work” — when, in reality, there is real profit in performing drivetrain diagnostics and “in-the-car” repairs. But with today’s electronic controls, you need to use a scan tool, scope and a multimeter.

The brake hydraulic control module on these vehicles has at least 12 valves. If the car or truck is accelerating hard from a stop, the system will apply the brakes independently to prevent slipping. These differentials can act like a locking limited-slip or open differential with only a change of the electronically controlled clutches.

Faulty transmission shift solenoids lead to delayed gear shifting, skipping gears, and gears getting stuck — making your car dangerous to drive. This helps in gear lubrication and operation on automatic transmission vehicles (manual transmission cars don’t have transmission solenoids). How does it work?
