Year 1 Outline & Class List

Advanced Diagnosis using Scan data and Signals:

• This class consists of several problem vehicles that were to multiple shops before finally being diagnosed
• A variety of techniques are highlighted here including, scan data interpretation, scope signal analysis and current probe diagnosis
• This is a good test of the technicians diagnostic ability

Introduction to Scopes and Signals:

• How each of the different types of signals are created
• Knowing how each signal is created makes recognizing signal faults easier
• Let the signal fault guide your diagnosis
• How the Lab scope operates and how to set it up

Current Probe Diagnostics:

• How the low current inductive probe works
• How to use the probe to test fuel injectors, coils, solenoids, fuel pumps and electric motors, find shorts, find current drains and to do a 1 minute compression test

Emission Failure, Fuel Control and the O2 Sensor:

• Understand how the emission gasses are produced
• Learn what it means for an engine to be in proper fuel control
• Learn how to read the O2 sensor waveform to determine which system is at fault, ignition, fuel or base engine

Ford Driveability 2 Nights:

• Ford operations highlighted by using case studies
• In this class we introduce the tech to OBD11 mode $6
• In this class we also introduce the Volumetric Efficiency calculator for use with MAF controlled fuel systems

GM Driveability 2 Nights:

• Similar to the Ford classes where case studies are used to examine operations
• We will also introduce in this class how to graph injector pulse width and ignition timing control signals to determine where certain faults are coming from

Chrysler Driveability 2 Nights:

• Case studies of Chrysler vehicle are used to highlight Chrysler operations
• Use the diagnostic skills that you have learned to diagnose the faults
