Advanced System Testing Strategies
2021-04-14 12:00 - 13:00
This course, Advanced System Testing Strategies, brings the experience and expertise of ASE Master Technician John Forro to an analytical approach to vehicle diagnostics. There are many pathways a technician can take to repair a vehicle, and the information presented in this class will help them determine which is the best, quickest, and most profitable direction to take. Discussions will cover the six main inputs of vehicle diagnostics: temperature, pre-and-post-O2 sensors, load sensors, demand sensors, RPM, and fuel trims, and how each path will give you results. The instructor will assist in not only gathering data but how to best interpret it. John will show how a real-world vehicle problem was assessed through multiple case studies, pathway determined, and the solution reached. The course also covers recommended practices when using pressure transducers, scan tools, and labscopes. Data Bus communications are also discussed.
Topics Covered:

Creative Approaches to Diagnostic Pathways
Choose the RIGHT way to Diagnose, the FIRST time
Leverage the Six Main Inputs for Diagnostics
Data Bus Communication Faults
Pressure Transducer Testing: Dipstick, Exhaust, Intake, In Cylinder
Use Scan Data to Your Advantage

Light Duty Diesel Problems and Solutions
2021-01-16 13:00 - 16:00
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.
