Stockpile essential components like ECUs, transmission control modules (TCMs), ignition coils, fuel pumps and sensors to increase your odds to reviving your car post-EMP.
Paper repair manuals and OBD-II scanners can help you diagnose and replace damaged parts post-EMP.
Spare parts must be stored in Faraday cages (metal trash cans, shielded bags or lined garages) to block electromagnetic interference.
If a car fails, attempt a restart, battery reset and scanner diagnostics. If electronics are fried, systematically replace shielded spares—starting with the ECU—with the help of repair manuals.
The threat of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP)—whether from a solar storm, nuclear detonation or directed-energy weapon—poses a catastrophic risk to modern society. One of the most immediate casualties would be transportation, as nearly every vehicle manufactured in the last two decades relies on delicate electronics vulnerable to EMP-induced failure. For people who depend on their cars for survival, preparation is key—but not all vehicles are equally at risk. Understanding which cars are most susceptible, how to shield critical components and what repairs may be necessary could mean the difference between mobility and being stranded in a crisis...<<<Read More>>>...
