Engine Electrical Diagnosis (1995-16Q)

Course Overview

The focus of this course is engine electrical diagnosis and repair; there is a very strong bias to using the multimeter and other tools to find faults. The course begins by covering basic theory building up to lots of hands on practice that can be applied each day in the workshop. The course is ideal for the experienced technician who needs or wants to refresh their electrical skills, and learn new methods of fault finding which will not damage the electronic systems now employed. The course will provide an excellent foundation for technicians who have had little or no formal electrical training, giving them the confidence to tackle electrical diagnosis in the workplace.

Who should attend

All who are tasked with the repair of modern Diesel Engines featuring electronic control systems.
