  repair considerations become part of the vehicle
  design and manufacturing process.

Tool Makers

• an easier track to market
• better system coverage
• fewer implementation and verification issues
• better vehicle make and model coverage

14
Aftermarket Repair Shops

• More accurate and complete repairs
• Less expensive equipment with broader coverage
  means more capability and therefore more
  customers
• Motorists more satisfied with their repair shop
  experience

15
OEMs

• Reality fewer dealership repair facilities
• Real proactive involvement would mean a reduction
  in government intervention
• Lower costs for everyone
• Examples
• J2534-1 and -2
• ISO 22900 (MVCI) and ISO 22901 (ODX)

Where do we go from here?

• We will be asking for help and guidance from the
  OEMs, SAE, ISO, ETI and Tier One Suppliers.
• We will try to organize as many discussion group
  exercises as we can
• NASTF Committee meetings
• ETI Tech Weeks
• Other forums as well
• could culminate in some kind of guidance for OEMs
  to follow. Perhaps an SAE recommended practice

  information are still flowing through ETI.
• We want to move this effort to NASTF, but two
  things need to happen
• The new NASTF On-line Information Request system
  needs to be online.
• There are large chunks of data missing from
  several OEMs. We need to take one more pass
  through ETI so that we dont overwhelm the system.
