Description
Flashing a School Bus (Legally): ABS Programming, Honda Axles, Hemi Misfires & EVAP Fixes
In this episode of Ron Ananian The Car Doctor, Ron opens with a shop story you won’t forget—flashing a 2008 Chevy short school bus after its new ABS module came in blank. Using the OPUS IVS 360 and remote tech support, he gets the “empty” controller fully configured and back on the road, proving why software and programming matter just as much as wrenches in today’s repairs.
From there, Ron tackles real listener calls:
-
How to choose the right Honda Accord CV axles without paying $1,100 each at the dealer
-
The smart way to service Honda automatic transmissions with DW-1 fluid and why pressure switches matter
-
Diagnosing a cylinder-6 misfire on a Dodge Durango Hemi using volumetric efficiency testing and running compression
-
Understanding Infiniti’s P0448 EVAP vent code and how to test before replacing parts
Packed with practical scan tool strategies, shop-floor economics, and repair insights, this episode is a must-listen for DIYers, techs, and anyone trying to keep their vehicle on the road longer.
