 I go to the dealer's parts counter and order the factory shop
manual for correct maintenance and understanding of what is "under the

not, saying the shop manual is intricately tied to the shop diagnostic
computer system ($$$$$) and by itself, is not very helpful.  So, i

I don't know, but I would be willing to bet large sums that the manual
that goes with the computer diagnostics is far easier to read and
understand than anything written for diagnostics or setup of an
actual computer! (Still waiting for a networking treatise written in
humanly understood terms! Just for the home user, not for someone
setting up an IBM facility!)
