DRIVEABILITY Using Current Probes to Diagnose Driveability Dilemmas 2/15/20, 8:30 - 11:30 a.m. Class #133, DeVos River Overlook C Inductive current probes have been around for years. Current probes use induction and “clamp” around a wire which gives us a non-intrusive method of viewing current flow in a circuit. These tools aren’t just for checking, starting, and charging systems anymore. Coupling these tools with the modern DSO, or lab scope, makes them incredibly powerful diagnostic instruments! Cur- rent probes can be used for checking engine me- chanical integrity, ignition and injection system operation, active wheel speed sensors, shorted engine sensors, parasitic draws and even for net- work diagnostics. Current probe tooling options and techniques will be discussed. Case studies will support some interesting approaches. The only limit for this affordable and often underap- preciated tool is one's imagination and creativity. Presented By: The Driveability Guys Speaker: Eric Ziegler Analyzing Fuel Trims and Essential Scan Data for Driveability Diagnosis 2/15/20, 1:30 - 4:30 p.m. Class #233, DeVos River Overlook C Despite being an essential scan data PID, fuel trims are often overlooked. They are the PCM’s “if/then” correction to engine issues or PCM inputs. They provide a unique window to the PCM’s response to issues like hesitation, misfire, low power, poor fuel economy, etc. Calculations can be made to determine the engine's ability to breathe when performing a strategic test drive and analyzing other scan PID's. This class will cover testing methods to help techs better understand how to quickly and logically determine the source of a driveability issue.

Diesel Emission Controls 2/15/20, 8:30 - 11:30 a.m. Class #118, DeVos Gallery Overlook B

This class covers the EGR (Exhaust Gas Re- circulation), diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), diesel particulate filter (DPF), selective catalytic reduction (SCR), and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) systems used on all makes of LD, MD, and HD trucks starting in the 2008 model year. This class applies to all makes and models of MD/ HD trucks because of the similarities in system operation. Many cutaway components are used in class, including cutaway DPF/DOC/Aftertreat- ment, EGR, turbocharger, and more. System operation, service, pattern failures, and mainte- nance peculiarities will be covered in the class, focusing on “Regen” problems, clogged DPFs, what causes them, and system diagnostics. Presented By: Turbo Training Speaker: Kevin Looney Optimizing Usage of the Ford IDS Diagnostic Software 2/15/20, 1:30 - 4:30 p.m. Class #218, DeVos Gallery Overlook B This class will cover all aspects of using the Ford IDS software: connection, diagnostics, recordings, recording playback, updating of the software, operation of bi-directional controls, interpretation of icons and buttons that Ford does not label, common problems, changing metric values to US values, usage of the cylinder balance graph, Mode 6 on gas engines, TSBs and special service messages that display on the screen, freeze frame data and how to use it, etc. This class will cover usage of the IDS on both gasoline and diesel vehicles.
