"The
Art of Teaching Auto/Truck Electrical & Electronics Systems
Troubleshooting"

Vince
Fischelli says: "It's amazing how much a teacher can teach
a student about testing and troubleshooting a vehicle's electrical
system with just a DMM and a DC Current Clamp when the teacher
has our hands-on troubleshooting training curriculum and knows
how to teach it! |

Workshop
Day 1: |
|
|
Essential Troubleshooting
Skills H-111
Essential troubleshooting
skills using the Starter
Kit, H-111. Material
covers how circuits work, how to test circuits, how circuits
fail and how to troubleshoot circuits. Teachers then practice
troubleshooting up to 32 individual electrical problems and learn
to insert problems in the Troubleshooting Trainers, H-PCB01 and
H-PCB02. |
|
Workshop
Day 2: |
|
|
Troubleshooting
DC Motor Circuits H-113
More troubleshooting
skill is developed troubleshooting brushless DC Motor Circuits using the Troubleshooting Trainer, H-PCB03
from H-113. Teachers practice troubleshooting DC
Motor circuit electrical problems and learn to insert problems
in the Troubleshooting Trainer, H-PCB03. Includes introduction
to the various types of ohmmeters, their parameters, capabilities
& limitations testing solid-state components and an introduction
to key-off battery drain problems relating to DC motor circuit
cooling fans. Later in Day 2 we will begin troubleshooting relays
(Day 3 material) to make room in Day 3 to cover the new Troubleshooting
Trainer H-PCB06, covering Wire Harness Troubleshooting. |
|
Workshop Day 3: |
|
|
Troubleshooting
Relay Circuits, H-115
Troubleshooting Relay Circuits using Troubleshooting Trainer H-PCB05
from H-115. Teachers troubleshoot live relay circuit
problems including hard to find circuit failures, how relays
cause key-off drain problems, how relays are controlled by shorts-to-voltage,
etc and learn to insert problems in the Troubleshooting Trainer,
H-PCB05.
Wire Harness
Troubleshooting, H-116
A brief
overview assembling and troubleshooting
The Wire
Harness Troubleshooting Trainer H-PCB06
from H-116. Teachers assemble a Mini-Electrical-System
("M.E.S." for short) combining all troubleshooting
trainers together through the Wire Harness Troubleshooting Trainer
and study unique electrical circuit problems relating to troubleshooting
an electrical system. |

Workshop
Day 4: |
|
|
-Troubleshooting
Batteries, unusual Battery Failures; How to troubleshoot a battery
failure on the vehicle using a DMM and Current Clamp;
-Cranking circuits & practical cranking circuit troubleshooting
on the vehicle
Systematic troubleshooting
procedures are explained for battery troubleshooting and cranking
circuit troubleshooting, testing voltage drops, as well as, troubleshooting
these circuits with hands-on practice using a DMM and DC Current
Clamp. |
|
Workshop
Day 5: |
|
|
-Troubleshooting
charging systems;
-Teaching FIRST THINGS FIRST;
-Troubleshooting Key-Off Battery Drain Problems;
-Troubleshooting multiple battery systems;
Systematic
troubleshooting procedures of generators (alternators) and charging
systems including computer controlled generator systems.
How to use FIRST
THINGS FIRST
in the classroom to teach students how to test a vehicle's electrical
system in 5-8 minutes and find electrical problems in the vehicle's
primary electrical system. This includes a review of the FIRST THINGS FIRST School Presentation
Package.
A presentation and demonstration of key-off drain problems is
next with live key-off drain measurements using the Starter Kit
circuit.
Multiple battery systems are covered with principles of operation
and troubleshooting concepts. The final day concludes with a
time for open discussion and critique. |
