It is necessary, and good shop practice, that your

preferred methods of repair.
Some repair procedures require that the BDP be
removed from the vehicle.
This is not a certification, test or study guide for a
certification test. If a technician is interested in
certification they should contact an agent
representing the ESA (Engine Service

certification testing. These study guides will cover
most of the products and manufacturers in our
industry.
