I seriously doubt, they are suddenly going to staff up with electronics engineers who diagnose electronics issues and then break out the soldering gun and rewire the computer boards. The car will spit out a code and they will swap out chips/boards based on what the codes suggest.

Theses code are pretty accurate.’in a past job I worked on IBM Point of Sale equipment, this was back in the mid 1980’s. The main unit came with a large manual with “MAPS”. You would get a code or symptoms and follow the map, if this condition exist do one thing, if it doesn’t do something else. These usually directed you to a first visit resolution.
