Designed using a combination of classroom and hands-on education to keep technicians current on changing vehicle management systems for domestic vehicles. Engine operating control strategies and components are reviewed as they relate to OBD II. This course will help technicians become more proficient in using the information the scan tool provides for diagnostics.  Real world problems will be diagnosed in our state-of-the-art service bays and the necessary system repairs will be performed using the latest diagnostic equipment. Establish a foundation utilizing ‘strategy based diagnostics.’

Prerequisite: Attendance of TEC301, TEC305, TEC306, or ASE Certification in A-6 (Electrical/Electronics) or A-8 (Engine Performance).

After completing this workshop, the student will be able to:

• Evaluate scan tool interpretation of important emissions/performance related PIDs.
• Review OBD II monitor strategy pertaining to the testing of air/fuel and emission related sensors.
• Interpret critical input sensor information and operating system strategies.
• Apply conclusive tests to speed density and mass air flow equipped vehicles to verify fuel system control and to gain diagnostic direction for driveability complaints.
• Test GM non-enhanced/enhanced evaporative emissions systems for leak and proper operation.
• Recognize fuel system monitoring strategies, operation and diagnostic routines.
• Diagnose emission related MIL problems with vehicles using generic and enhanced scan data analysis.
