New and Upcoming Courses

Topics Covered:

• 2-3-4 wire coil design
• Triggering devices
• Transistor operation & testing
• Driver failures
• and more

This course equips automotive professionals with the skills to determine whether drivability issues, performance complaints, or fault codes stem from fuel system faults. Through structured workflows and real-world case studies, students will learn to isolate fuel-related problems from ignition, air intake, and engine mechanical issues using scan tool data, pressure testing, volume testing and waveform analysis.

Topics Covered:

• Gasoline integrity testing
• Fuel trims
• Fuel pump design
• Three phase pumps
• and more

This diagnostic-focused course trains automotive professionals to systematically determine whether drivability issues, fault codes, or performance complaints originate from the engine itself—or from external systems. Using real-world case studies, scan tool data along with scope captures, students will learn how to separate engine mechanical faults from sensor, actuator, and control system anomalies.

Topics Covered:
Engine integrity
Oil consumption
Blow by testing
Head gasket failure
Crankcase pressure testing
In-Cylinder pressure transducer testing
Magnetized cam & crankshafts
Valve spring tension
Oil pressure issues

Automotive Electronics Explained is a comprehensive training course designed for technicians, diagnosticians, and advanced learners who want a deep, practical understanding of modern vehicle electronics. This course bridges foundational electronic component theory with real‑world automotive applications, including ECU power supply circuits, signal conditioning networks, logic processing, and OBD‑II–based diagnostic routines.

Students learn not only what each component does, but how it behaves under load, how it fails, and how to test it using professional diagnostic tools such as DMMs, oscilloscopes, and scan tools.

Topics Covered:

• How computers work
• Diode construction-operation-testing
• Transistor construction-operation & testing
• Capacitor construction-operation-testing
• Voltage regulators-reference voltage operation & testing
• Logic gates
• OBD direct testing & indirect testing routines

This course provides a comprehensive, technician‑focused introduction to automotive lab scope operation, waveform interpretation, and diagnostic strategy. Students will learn how to apply oscilloscope technology accurately, and efficiently across modern vehicle systems. The curriculum will cover math channel features along with measurement channel features. Students will learn how to detect mis- located tone rings, magnetized tone rings and the wrong tone rings installed. Students will learn how to use the crank sensor waveform and a math channel to detect an engine misfire and locate offending cylinder. Technicians will also learn how to diagnose solenoids using time constants and phase rulers.

Topics Covered

• Dynamic resistance using math channel

• Positive and negative duty cycle

• Math channel setup

• Measuring duty cycle with math channel

• And More!

Technicians vary in their diagnostic skills, often due to the methods they use. This class teaches you how to adapt your diagnostic strategy to each vehicle and issue. Through real case studies, you'll identify the best approach, review your process, and discuss improvements. The goal is to enhance decision-making for more accurate diagnostics, resulting in improved customer satisfaction and increased shop profits.

Topics Covered:

• Diagnostic process flow: customer concerns, repair history, data-driven testing
• Vehicle system identification and service information (TSBs, theory of operation)
• Diagnostic tool usage: lab scope, pressure transducer, amp probe
• Fuel system testing: pressure, volume, amperage, voltage, resistance, cavitation
• CAN bus and serial data diagnostics: decoding, bias voltages, network troubleshooting
