Description
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
Objectives:
Identify common engine problems
Analyze engine oil consumption issues
Evaluate engine blow by gases
Identify relative compression testing techniques
Identify new techniques for testing cam & crank correlation codes
Analyze engine noise and vibrations using special tools
