Chilton Introduces Online TSB Database

Repair information publisher Chilton has announced the addition of a new Technical Service Bulletin database for its online products.

The Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) database is available with the company’s ChiltonDIY, ChiltonPRO and ChiltonLibrary.

More than 70,000 TSBs are now available for vehicles produced during the past 20 years. A notable fact is that the TSBs available through the Chilton database are electronically reproduced, rather than scanned, making them easier to read. For even further clarity, the same colours used in Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) bulletins will appear in the Chilton products.

The new Chilton TSB database also includes expanded search criteria capabilities. Database searches are now possible using several criteria, including system, symptom, diagnostic trouble code and TSB number. A keyword search also allows users to type in any word to find the information.

TSB alerts, issued by automobile manufacturers, recommend procedures for repairing specific problems occurring with a vehicle. Service technicians depend on these alerts to help identify and repair problems with vehicles.
