Domestic Drivability Diagnostics 10/1/22, 8:30am - 11:30am Class #105, Amway Grand View In this case study based course, we will discuss a variety of diagnostic techniques used to solve a mix of difficult drivability problems found on GM, Ford, and Chrysler vehicles. Case studies are tremendous educational tools which can be used to explain system theory, specific testing techniques, and data interpretation in a real world environment. Scan data interpretation and scope usage, along with a common sense approach will be highlighted throughout this session. DRIVABILITY/ DIAGNOSTICS

Building an Apprenticeship Program for Collision Centers 10/1/22, 8:30am - 11:30am Class #131, Amway Vandenberg B In today's challenging collision technician market, where it has become increasingly difficult to find qualified technicians, we will share options to improve your success. An apprentice program, when properly implemented, could be the key to successful technician advancement in your repair processes. Learn how to hire, train, and properly tool people to becoming highly efficient and productive technicians for your facility. Don't just wait for technicians to show up at your door - go find the right people and train them to be successful. A small investment now can produce a large return later. Join us to find out how!

Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) 10/1/22, 8:30am - 11:30am Class #126, DeVos River Overlook D Join us for this 4-part series in a single 3-hour course! Part 1: In order to repair an ADAS fault or calibrate the systems, an understanding of the components and system operation is required. Part 2: We will discuss how each manufacturer has their own unique component configurations. One manufacturer may only use a forward facing camera for adaptive cruise control (ACC) while another uses the forward facing camera combined with a long range radar sensor to achieve similar results. Part 3: We'll discuss the repair process of faulty, damaged, replaced, and repaired components. We will also cover when ADAS systems and components need to be calibrated. Part 4: We will describe calibration processes using the Bosch DAS 3000 fixture, SCT 815 stand prismatic reflector and the ADS 625 scan tool. We will also cover the differences between static and dynamic calibration processes.

Electronic Power Assisted Steering 10/1/22, 1:30pm - 4:30pm Class #224, DeVos River Overlook B This course covers common diagnostic procedures to verify the vehicle can support the electrical demands of the EPAS systems. It also covers the different versions of EPAS systems, as well as the components that support providing inputs to the control module. Highlights include: Module software update requirements, system operations, component functions, supporting components, diagnostics, and common issues associated with EPAS Systems.

Smart Charging Systems 10/1/22, 8:30am - 11:30am Class #123, DeVos River Overlook A ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS

Using Current Probes to Diagnose Drivability Dilemmas 10/1/22, 8:30am - 11:30am Class #119, DeVos Grand Gallery D Inductive current probes have been around for years - even the venerable VAT40 charging/ starting systems tester had one! Current probes use induction and “clamp” around a wire which gives us a non-intrusive method of viewing current flow in a circuit. They are incredibly powerful diagnostic instruments when coupled with the modern DSO or lab scope. Case studies will support some interesting approaches to unique diagnostic dilemmas. One is only limited by imagination and creativity when it comes to this affordable and often under-appreciated tool.

Diagnosing Modern Suspension Systems 10/1/22, 1:30pm - 4:30pm Class #218, DeVos Grand Gallery C This workshop enhances the under car technician's skills in the areas of operation and diagnosis on electronically controlled suspension systems. After completing this course, a technician will have the knowledge to: apply diagnostic tests to vehicles with electronically controlled suspensions (ECS), validate performance of suspension components on ECS equipped vehicles, understand scan tool data, and identify different types of failed components on ECS equipped vehicles.

Vehicle manufacturers are faced with meeting increasing fuel economy standards. One of the changes the manufacturers have embraced is computer-controlling the charging systems to minimize the rotating resistance of the alternators. These systems require a system-wide diagnostic procedure. This course begins with battery and cable diagnosis, basic alternator operation, and belt and pulley inspections. From there, it introduces technicians to computer-controlled charging systems, as well as reinforces the procedures needed for diagnosing charging system failures.
