Designed for technicians desiring educational instruction on one of today’s hottest subjects.  Includes hands-on lab exercises diagnosing electrical circuit faults, voltage drop and current testing.  This workshop will familiarize the technician with electricity and electronics, from the fundamentals to complex automotive circuits.  Technicians will become proficient with the diagnostic tools needed to service electrical systems and will learn skills necessary to develop diagnostic strategies and avoid lengthy trouble shooting.  Exercises will include use of diagnostic tools and demonstrations of various types of automotive electrical repairs.  Quickly identify electrical failures and recommend the proper repair.  This is an excellent preface to the TEC202, TEC304, TEC305, TEC306 AND TEC307 workshops.

Prerequisite: Minimum of 2 years automotive experience preferred.

After completing this workshop, the student will be able to:

• Accurately define electrical and electronic components.
• Employ the diagnostic tools needed for electrical diagnosis.
• Utilize skills to develop diagnostic strategies and avoid lengthy diagnostic times while increasing profitability.
• Comprehend electrical schematics and apply knowledge to assist ‘point of failure’ diagnostics.
• Test automotive electronic circuits.
• Identify electrical failures and recommend appropriate repair.
