ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS

Lab Scope Diagnostics 10/1/22, 1:30pm - 4:30pm Class #216, DeVos Grand Gallery A

Push Button Start Systems 10/1/22, 8:30am - 11:30am Class #117, DeVos Grand Gallery B

Electrical Diagnostics 10/1/22, 8:30am - 11:30am Class #110, DeVos Gallery Overlook C

In this course, we will explore the tool options available to technicians, as well as cover the operation and use of a lab scope in detail. We will then work through several case studies demonstrating the diagnostic power of a lab scope. This course will be beneficial to anyone desiring to increase their diagnostic ability, whether or not a lab scope is available. The goal of this course is to prepare the aftermarket technician for the proper application and use of a lab scope to solve diagnostic problems and improve efficiency. After completing this course, a technician will have the knowledge to: understand the limitations of scan data and lab scope tooling options; understand voltage drop and how to measure it; perform a relative compression test; use an amp probe; check high and low side driver circuits; and much more!

The goal of this course is to prepare the aftermarket technician to diagnose and repair push button start systems. Technicians will learn to differentiate between a smart key system fault and a module-controlled starter fault. Technicians will learn the core components involved with all push button start systems, as well as the OE specific components and their operation on four different vehicles. After completing this course, a technician will have the knowledge to: understand module controlled starting systems; understand the necessary inputs to allow for passive engine start; identify service and repair issues; diagnose wireless and wired communication faults; read and interpret a starting system wiring schematic and more!

This course is designed for technicians who already have a solid electrical foundation and are looking to understand today’s vehicles complex body electrical systems. It will cover multiplex network communications and network system diagnostics. We will look at network topology for various body electrical systems and discuss how system modules and components interact with one another. After completing this course, a technician will have the knowledge to: analyze and test various network signals and components, diagnose and test vehicle body control systems, replace and program a body control module or gateway module, understand body control system operation strategies, and employ scan tool usage in conjunction with electrical circuit tests with a DMM or lab scope.

Both in-cylinder pressure transducers and manifold vacuum transducers used with a digital storage oscilloscope (DSO) can reduce valuable diagnostic and tear down time on today’s VVT equipped multi-cam engines. Engine performance and emissions can be severely impacted by cam timing concerns caused from lack of oil, failed timing chain tensioners, and/or stretched timing chains or belts. In this course, you learn the benefits of modern diagnostic equipment and learn when and how to use these testing techniques on the vehicle.

Ford EcoBoost 10/1/22, 8:30am - 11:30am Class #116, DeVos Grand Gallery A

Presented By: Standard Motor Products Speaker: Ken Brown

Presented By: DRiV Speaker: John Dixon

Technicians need to understand how the Ford EcoBoost engine control system uses valve timing, air management, and direct injection fuel control to generate the high power available. Special techniques are needed to determine the cause of fuel control or low boost faults. The goal of this class is to prepare the aftermarket technician to diagnose and repair driveability problems on Ford EcoBoost equipped engines. We will present diagnostic scenarios including misfire, boost faults, air and fuel control faults, and EVAP codes using real world examples. We will also demonstrate components replacement best practices.

EMISSIONS

Taking a Peak with Pico 10/1/22, 1:30pm - 4:30pm Class #208, DeVos Gallery Overlook A

Immobilizer and Anti-Theft System Diagnostics 10/1/22, 1:30pm - 4:30pm Class #219, DeVos Grand Gallery D Immobilizer and anti-theft are incorporated in almost all modern vehicles. Anti-theft measures are not just keys and burglar alarms. Some valve bodies in transmissions are theft related parts. More and more OE’s are component protecting their parts and require some measure of anti-theft style programming. Several types of OE anti-theft systems, their operation, and diagnosis will be covered.

Diesel Exhaust Gas Aftertreatment (EGT) Systems 10/1/22, 8:30am - 11:30am Class #127, DeVos River Overlook E This course explains the components, operation, and diagnosis of exhaust gas aftertreatment systems integral in today’s common rail diesel vehicles. These systems are critical in reducing harmful diesel emissions output and are fundamental for diesel technicians to understand, diagnose, and service vehicles.

This course will cover Pico lab scope operation, accessories, and diagnostics. Pico 4000 series automotive scopes will be discussed along with an introduction to the new Pico 7 software application and the new 4425A smart probe scope. Live screen navigation and case studies will be used to demonstrate the power of scope diagnostics.
