Yeah, and a Toyota fan somewhere around here was talking about being able to work on these modern cars at home. Yeah right! "Oh buy a computer diagnostics scanner and memorize the codes", if only it was that simple. You also have to buy a whole bunch of other specialized equipment and a whole shop load of other crap to even attempt to work on a new car.
Hell, you'd probably have to go to and graduate automotive classes at a tech school, and receive training from a brand dealership or whatever before you can even begin to work on newer vehicles. Newer cars aren't made to be worked on at home; they're built and designed so that they have to taken to the dealership for servicing whenever something goes wrong.
