SUMMARY:Push Button Start Systems
DESCRIPTION:Passive entry and start systems using a “smart key” have been available on select vehicles for many years now. These systems allow a driver to leave the key in their pocket while both entering and starting the vehicle. The smart key communicates wirelessly with a receiver which then communicates with other modules over a wired network. These systems are typically very reliable\, but when they fail and a vehicle will not start\, technicians will need to understand how they work to diagnose them. \nThe goal of this class is to prepare the aftermarket technician to be ready to diagnose and repair push button start systems. Technicians will learn to differentiate between a smart key system fault and a module-controlled starter fault. Technicians will learn the core components involved with all push button start systems\, as well as the OE specific components and their operation on four different vehicles. \nAfter completing this class\, the technician will be able to: \n\nUnderstand module controlled starting system\nIdentify the core components of a push button start system\nUnderstand the necessary inputs to allow for passive engine start\nIdentify service and repair issues\nDiagnose wireless communication faults\nDiagnose wired communication faults\nIdentify which part of the system has failed and create a diagnostic plan\nRead and interpret a starting system wiring schematic

SUMMARY:The Common\, But Modern\, Chassis
DESCRIPTION:Have you looked under a car recently and wondered why there seems to be more control arms than you’re used to or noticed that the steering rack is electro-mechanical now? That rack could have been missing the hydraulic pump for a lot of Manufacture since 2004.  Did you notice electric motors at the rear calipers? \nTake three hours and ensure you’re up to speed on today’s chassis systems\, and understand the correlation between this system and electro-mechanical parts. ZF has developed and produced chassis systems for many OEMs. The high percentage of OE business allows technicians to go on a deep dive into why control arm counts are increasing and learn how to interpret fault codes and steering data in order to properly diagnose and service chassis systems. The participant will get an understanding about new brake technology like\, Brake booster\, Electric Park Brake and what is special on brake systems for electric vehicles. On top of this the Instructor will touch base on ADAS technology and will explain the influence of the suspension systems towards this technology. This class will bring you up to speed on new Chassis\, ADAS and Brake Technology. \nAfter completing this training\, the participant will be able to: \n\nDescribe components within the suspension system\nExplain different chassis angles and angle settings\nDifferentiate between popular chassis systems\nDescribe a multi-link suspension system\nExplain how to control bump steering\nIdentify electric steering systems\nDescribe common failures related to the suspension in steering systems\nIdentify different driver assist functions and their operations\nDescribe functions and impacts of radar and camera systems\nShow basic settings of radar and camera systems\nList braking components and their functions\nDescribe common brake pads installation errors\nExplain electrical park brake systems\nDescribe proper mechanical release of electrical brake system\nList braking components and their functions\nExplain assistance based emergency braking\nIdentify noise issues\nDiagnose brake systems and errors

SUMMARY:Light Duty Diesel Problems and Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Compared to the mid-90s\, diesel vehicles have made a serious comeback. The increase in popularity is largely the result of a steady string of advancements and improvements to the diesel engine. New engine designs\, noise- and vibration-damping technologies\, and improvements like electronic engine control have spawned a new generation of engines that are more powerful and 30-35% more fuel efficient than similar-size gasoline engines\, all while running quieter and smoother than diesel engines of the past. Cold-weather starting has been improved. Noise levels are down. Reliability has been improved. Tail pipe emissions are down. Most importantly\, horsepower and torque are up significantly! Many of today’s diesel engines that come as an option in the medium-duty trucks are now advertising over 800ft-lbs of torque. Those numbers were unheard of 20 years ago.
