Free Automotive Electrical Diagnostic Training: Learn the RMS 6-Step Thought Process

FREE Automotive Diagnostic Training: Learn the RMS 6-Step Thought Process with Bob from RMS DiagnosticsFree live automotive electrical diagnostic training for UK technicians and garages – Tuesday 18th August 2026 at 7:30pm BST, presented by Bob from RMS Diagnostics and sponsored by Thinkcar UK.

Have you ever looked at a difficult vehicle electrical fault and thought:
“Where do I even start?”

For many automotive technicians, the challenge isn't knowing how to use a multimeter, oscilloscope or diagnostic scan tool.
The real challenge is knowing what to test first, why you're testing it and what the result is actually telling you.

On Tuesday 18th August 2026 at 7:30pm UK time, Bob from RMS Diagnostics is hosting a completely FREE one-hour live Zoom training session, sponsored by Thinkcar UK, where he'll share the exact 6-step diagnostic thought process he uses every day to approach difficult electrical faults.

What Is the RMS 6-Step Thought Process?Modern vehicle diagnostics can quickly become complicated.

Today's technicians are dealing with increasingly sophisticated vehicle electrical systems, multiple control modules, CAN networks, sensors, actuators and huge amounts of diagnostic data.
A professional diagnostic tool can provide fault codes, live data, topology, actuator tests, module information and other valuable information.
But the diagnostic tool doesn't make the final decision.

The technician does.
Bob's RMS 6-Step Thought Process is about creating a repeatable, logical approach to automotive fault finding.
Instead of jumping between tests, making assumptions or replacing a component because a fault code appears to point towards it, the process helps technicians stop and ask:
What do I know? What do I need to prove? And what should I test next?
That's the thinking behind this free automotive diagnostic training session.

What Will Bob Cover in the Free Diagnostic Training?During the live Zoom session, Bob will explain how he approaches challenging automotive electrical faults and builds a logical diagnostic plan.
The session will cover:

• How to approach any electrical fault with greater confidence
• How to avoid costly assumptions and unnecessary parts replacement
• How to decide what to test first
• How to build a logical diagnostic plan
• How to prove a fault before replacing components
• How to use diagnostic information to determine your next test
• How the RMS thought process has helped solve faults that other garages couldn't

Most importantly, this isn't simply training on how to use a multimeter.
It's about learning how to think like a professional automotive diagnostician.

Why a Repeatable Automotive Diagnostic Process MattersWe've all seen what can happen when diagnosis becomes guesswork.
Read the fault code.
Replace the suspected component.
Clear the code.
Fault comes back.
Replace something else.
Before long, time and money have been spent without actually proving what caused the original problem.
A structured automotive diagnostic process changes that approach.
Rather than asking:
“What part should I replace?”
You start asking:
“What test will prove or disprove my theory?”

That distinction is at the heart of professional fault finding.
Whether you're diagnosing a sensor fault, wiring issue, communication problem, power supply fault, ground problem or another electrical issue, having a repeatable thought process gives you somewhere to start and a logical route towards the answer.

Why RMS Diagnostics Uses Thinkcar If you already follow Bob at RMS Diagnostics, you'll probably have spotted Thinkcar diagnostic equipment appearing in his real-world diagnostic videos.
In particular, you'll have seen Bob using the Thinkcar 399, alongside other Thinkcar products, during his diagnostic work.

And there's a reason for that.
Bob uses the Thinkcar 399 because he believes in the product and the support behind it.
For a professional diagnostician, choosing diagnostic equipment isn't simply about comparing specifications on a website.

The equipment needs to perform in the real world.
And when you're working on difficult vehicles and challenging faults, having knowledgeable support behind that equipment matters too.

That combination of professional diagnostic capability and UK-based support is one of the reasons Thinkcar equipment has become part of Bob's day-to-day diagnostic work.
It's also why the relationship between RMS Diagnostics and Thinkcar UK is such a natural fit.

Thinkcar UK Is Proud to Sponsor the RMS 6-Step Thought Process TrainingThinkcar UK is proud to support Bob and RMS Diagnostics in making this live training session available to automotive technicians completely free of charge.

But let's make one thing clear:
This isn't a Thinkcar sales webinar.
You don't need to own a Thinkcar diagnostic tool to attend.
You don't need to be a Thinkcar customer.
And you certainly don't need to turn up ready to buy something.
The focus of the evening is diagnostic thinking.
Because even the most capable diagnostic equipment is only part of the equation.
A professional scan tool can give you the information.
A great diagnostic process helps you know what to do with it.
That's something both RMS Diagnostics and Thinkcar UK believe is worth supporting.

Who Should Attend This Free Automotive Diagnostic Training?The RMS 6-Step Thought Process training is designed for people working in vehicle diagnostics, servicing and repair across the UK.
That includes:

• Automotive technicians
• Diagnostic technicians
• Auto electricians
• Mobile vehicle technicians
• Independent garage technicians
• Garage owners
• Workshop managers
• MOT and repair workshops
• Apprentice technicians
• Developing diagnostic technicians
• Experienced technicians wanting a more structured diagnostic approach

Whether you're working independently, in a busy garage or specialising in complex vehicle diagnostics, the principles covered during the session can be applied to everyday fault finding.

Free Online Diagnostic Training for Technicians Across the UKBecause the training is being delivered live online via Zoom, you can join Bob from anywhere in the UK.

That means technicians and garages in London, Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Essex, Hampshire, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield, Bristol, Cardiff, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Belfast and everywhere in between can take part without travelling to a training centre.
All you need is an internet connection and an hour of your evening.

Whether you're searching for automotive diagnostic training in the UK, electrical fault-finding training, vehicle diagnostics training, garage technician training or simply want to become more confident when faced with difficult electrical faults, this session is designed to give you a practical process you can take back into the workshop.

It's Not About the Multimeter – It's About the Technician Holding ItKnowing how to measure voltage, resistance or current is important.

Knowing why you're taking that measurement is even more important.
The same applies to professional diagnostic equipment.
Reading a DTC is easy.
Understanding whether the component named in that DTC is actually faulty is a different skill altogether.

That's where a structured diagnostic thought process becomes so valuable.
Bob's training is designed to help technicians develop the habit of gathering evidence, questioning assumptions and building tests that lead towards a proven diagnosis.
The objective isn't to make diagnosis more complicated.
It's to make your thinking clearer.

Learn How Bob Approaches Difficult Electrical FaultsIf you've watched Bob's RMS Diagnostics videos and wondered how he decides:
Where do I start?
What should I test first?
Does this fault code actually mean the component is faulty?
What does this test result tell me?
What's my next move?
Have I actually proved the fault?
This is your opportunity to learn more about the thought process behind those decisions.
The equipment is important.
The test is important.
But it's the reasoning connecting those tests together that turns individual measurements into a diagnosis.
