Just to play devil's advocate, the right to repair crowd would disagree very much so.
Back in the day you could pick up a Chiltons for $15.00 and fix anything on your car. It's not customers and owners fault that the complexity of modern cars now requires 9 volumes of 1000 page service manuals, and after the warranty expires anyone should be able to have access to the complete service manual for their car at a very cheap price, but also full access to ALL software and encoded operations of the vehicle without having to buy expensive software from the manufacture or go only through the dealer.
My point is, after your warranty is up, and most certainly after you've paid off the car, you should be able to fix ANYTHING yourself if you desire without expensive diagnostic equipment, software, or manuals.
