Transmission Diagnostics for Non-Trans Techs 2/8/25, Class #223 1:30-4:30 pm Transmissions have been controlled by computers for a long time. As a result, transmission issues can be electrical or hydraulic/mechanical in nature. When a vehicle with a transmission issue rolls into a shop it is often “shipped” to a transmission shop. Why? A perfectly capable technician who can accurately diagnose an engine issue could tackle a transmission issue. Why loose the customer? This course outlines a logical process for attacking transmission failures. Using tools and techniques that driveability technicians already possess, we will discuss how to draw the line between an electrical problem or an internal transmission issue. Basic knowledge of automatic transmissions is a plus, but this course is geared towards non-transmission technicians. Presented by: The Driveability Guys Speaker: Scott Shotton
Advanced Alignment Diagnostics 2/8/25, Class #227 1:30-4:30 pm
This session covers suspension and steering diagnosis due to bent parts from accidents, road hazards, vehicle mods, tire/wheel resizing and height issues. A review of alignment angles followed by in-depth explanation of steering axis inclination (SAI), included angle (IA), scrub radius and toe out on turns (TOOT) will assist the alignment technician in • Utilize the alignment machine as a diagnostic tool for the alignment and repair of vehicles involved in road hazard incidents and vehicle collisions • Identify root causes for uneven or erratic tire wear and handling problems, and effectively communicate the results to the vehicle owner • Identify how vehicle modifications and tire/wheel changes affect alignment and dynamic operation • Analyze related electronic systems that interact with the chassis system in need of recalibration or adjustment after the alignment procedure utilizing the aligner as a diagnostic tool. Upon completion, techs will be able to:
