Summer Workshop for Teachers 2008 in Dallas, Texas "It's amazing how much a teacher can teach a student about testing and troubleshooting a vehicle's electrical and electronic 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! This workshop personally taught by Vince Fischelli "The Art of Teaching Auto/Truck Electrical & Electronics Systems Troubleshooting" August 4-8, 2008  Email us your postal mailing address to be added to our mailing list to receive a brochure for the Summer Workshop in 2008 and all future workshops. Curriculum of the Summer Workshop for Teachers Teachers read a 33 page handout covering essential electrical/electronics principles the evening before the first workshop day. This handout is included in the workbook waiting at the front desk. To print out a registration form for 2008  Workshop Day 1:  Essential Electrcial Troubleshooting Skills H-111 Essential troubleshooting skills using the Starter Kit, H-111. Material covers how electrical circuits work, how to test electrical circuits, how electrical circuits fail and how to troubleshoot electrical 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 (H-111). Setting up troubleshooting training in the classroom is also covered for maximum benefit to students with minimum effort by the teacher.  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 (Overview) 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 simply using a DMM and a DC Current Clamp More about battery troubleshooting than you ever thought existed. For example, why is it sometimes impossible to jump start a vehicle with a dead battery and why you can jump start some vehicles but shouldn't. Cranking circuits & practical cranking circuit troubleshooting on the vehicle simply using a DMM and a DC Current Clamp 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 Systematic troubleshooting procedure is presented that shows a technician how to test the charging system in 60 seconds using only a DMM. Also discussed are the incorrect ways to test the charging system currently being promoted by some manufacturers and what those methods don't work. Teaching FIRST THINGS FIRST A review of using FIRST THINGS FIRST and the FIRST THINGS FIRST School Presentation Package training program. 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. Teachers then perform FIRST THINGS FIRST on a vehicle. Troubleshooting Key-Off Battery Drain Problems; Discussion of key-off drain issues covers why on-board computers are the primary cause of key-off drain problems. Troubleshooting multiple battery systems; Covers principles of operation and troubleshooting concepts of batteries in series and parallel combinations with emphasis on battery voltage analysis versus battery current analysis. The final day concludes with a time for open discussion and critique.  Return to the dedicated "Teachers" web page. Information and Instructions for teachers planning to attend.

Include a Saturday night stay over (the Sat. night before) which can result in significant savings on some airfares. Students fly in to DFW Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth and take a SuperShuttle Van to the hotel (about $30.00 one way). If arriving at Love Field a SuperShuttle Van is also available. When you check in at the hotel, your training manual will be waiting for you at the front desk with a Welcome Letter covering last minute details about the class schedule and meeting room number. ASK FOR THEM! All workshop classes are held in the same hotel where you stay. SuperShuttle Vans will return you to the airport (about $30.00) for your return flight home.)   (2) Hotel Reservation: We recommend you stay at the workshop hotel in Dallas. (972.616.2400) Ask for Veejer Enterprises's special rate of $69.00 per night. Lunch each workshop day at local area restaurants is included in the workshop tuition.
