What does each course consist of?

Electronic and Advanced Steering/Suspension Systems

This seminar is designed for the technician working in the alignment and chassis areas. Topics include electronic and advanced new steering and suspension systems, including information on electronically controlled suspension systems. Proper inspection, the relationship of the chassis system to alignment and tire wear, and problem-solving parts on today’s systems are presented in this seminar.

Late-Model ABS Systems and Advanced Brake Diagnostics

This new seminar begins with a look at new brake technology. A review of ABS operation-related components and base brake tips helps to reduce diagnosis time and comebacks. This seminar discusses application, operation, diagnosis and bleeding on today’s most popular systems, including: Teves Mark IV, Delco/Delphi VI, Kelsey Hayes 4WAL and Kelsey Hayes RWAL/RABS. Also included is information on late-model Bosch and Teves Mark 20 systems. Helpful tips for system diagnosis, either with or without scan tools, are provided.

Advanced Fuel System Troubleshooting

This seminar is designed for technicians working on tune-up, driveability and emission concerns on today’s vehicles. Wiring schematics, computer fuel controls and modern fuel metering have completely changed the way to diagnose components; these changes have altered the understanding of the role of the fuel pump as part of a complete system.

Advanced Engine Sealing Systems

This seminar will help technicians and machinists identify the necessary installation procedures and the selection of sealing materials used on late-model composite and bimetal engines. Effects of aluminum versus cast iron relating to temperature will be discussed. We will identify the characteristics and application of multi-layer steel (MLS) gaskets. You will be able to differentiate types of sealing materials used in gasket construction and identify required preparation of engine components upon reassembly.

Engine Systems

This seminar is designed to provide a good understanding in the operation of the internal combustion engines and improve the machinists’ and technicians’ working knowledge of cylinder head and lower-block reconditioning. It will enhance the participant’s ability to identify technology changes and select the proper components when performing engine service.

Enhanced Fuel and Ignition System Testing: Effective Diagnostics and Troubleshooting

This new seminar is designed for technicians working on driveability concerns with today’s vehicles. Fuel supply and ignition system strategy will be discussed in detail. Test equipment interpretations from scan tools, DSOs, low amp probes and fuel pressure/volume testers will be the focus. Technicians will learn specific diagnostic techniques to help speed up OBD II diagnosis and the repair of misfire DTCs. Learn the benefits of fast and accurate procedures that can be used on today’s fuel-delivery systems.
