Scan Data Diagnostics with Fuel Trim and More! 2/8/25, Class #123 8:30-11:30 am With the ever expanding capabilities of scan tools diagnosis is becoming easier if you know how to interpret data. This class will focus around fuel trim values in conjunction with other data PIDs. Many case studies will be used to illustrate points like: incorrect fuel injector flow rate, what you didn’t realize you needed to know about Ethanol, and more. A variety of scan tools will be used. Presented by: The Driveability Guys Speaker: Scott Shotton Torque Management/Electronic Throttle Control 2/8/25, Class #113 8:30-11:30 am Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) is more than just electronically moving a throttle blade. When the accelerator pedal is depressed, the Engine Control Module (ECM) recognizes the pedal sensor position as a torque request. The torque management system will then process the request and deliver the desired engine torque using the throttle blade position, phasing the cams, controlling spark timing, and other outputs. The primary inputs for ETC systems are the APP and TP sensors. Early systems used contact type potentiometers that wear out and create signal glitches that can be difficult to diagnose. After completing this session, a technician will: • Understand the torque management system and identify components • Be able to diagnose sensor and electric motor faults • Know how to properly service ETC systems • Perform relearn or calibration procedures • Know how to use scan data for effective diagnosis of these systems Presented by: Standard Motor Products Speaker: Standard Motor Products Master Trainer
Scan tools have long since been a necessity for diagnosing and repairing vehicles. Modern scan tools have advanced functions such as graphing and recording capabilities, that often go unused. Additionally, many technicians are not taking advantage of the ten OBD modes that exist on the generic side of their scan tool. Regulations for vehicles built from 2008 to present, require manufacturers to supply functions and data in a uniform and consistent layout in generic mode. In this class we will investigate the ten OBD modes of operation in your scan tool and how to use them effectively. We will also explore how to record and review scan data for solving diagnostic mysteries. After completing this class, a technician will be able to do the following: • Identify the ten OBD modes • Effectively use Freeze Frame information • Effectively use the generic data stream • Perform a VE calculation with one PID using generic data • Operate solenoids and other outputs in generic mode • Graph and analyze scan data in context Presented by: Standard Motor Products Speaker: Standard Motor Products Master Trainer
