"The" Advanced Troubleshooting
Workshop (Phase 3) is 3 days and uses Electronic Troubleshooting
Trainers designed by Vince Fischelli simulating auto/truck ECM/PCM
computer systems, sensors and relay & solenoid circuits controlled
by computer. You will learn to troubleshoot sensors, sensor circuits,
the correct way to use DTCs, perform Critical Voltage Analysis
of sensor information, troubleshoot computer control of actuators,
actuator troubleshooting, study a wide range of internal computer
circuits, trace signals in digital electronic circuits used in
vehicle computers, learn how computers work, learn how an actuator
can smoke a computer driver circuit - what you can do about it
and much more! Troubleshooting experiments are individually described
to coincide with actual vehicle system problems and DTCs for
added troubleshooting realism! Phase 3 is followed by 2 days of Phase 4, using an analog lab scope. |

Phase 3 (3-Days) December 8-10, 2008
"Troubleshooting Auto/Truck Electronic Circuits
and Computer-Control"
|
Day 1 of Phase
3: "Is the problem a bad sensor or a bad computer?" |
|
|
Day 1 covers a review of DC voltage, AC voltage and digital, pulse and PWM signal terminology. Passive and active component terminology is covered in today's electronics language. Then we discuss an introduction to computer principles and computer "personality." Students study sensor circuits, how sensors interface with internal computer circuits and how sensor information (signal) is used by the computer. Sensor circuits discussed are TP, CTS and 02 sensors. Learn to distinguish between a sensor failure or a computer sensor circuit problem. Learn how computers can set a DTC indicating a bad sensor when the sensor is actually good. Students troubleshoot TP, CTS and O2 sensor problems and problems in internal computer sensor circuits. |
|
Day 2 of Phase
3: "Has the computer been damaged by a bad actuator?" |
|
|
Day 2 covers diodes, diode operation, diode applications and testing diodes. We build on that by discussing transistors, transistor operation, transistor applications and testing transistor with an analog ohmmeter and diode test. You will learn how LEDs work. Next, we discuss switch input circuits, how they work, how the computer processes the information and how to troubleshoot switch input circuits. Then follows troubleshooting problems in switch input circuits. Next we discuss NPN and PNP transistors in circuits and important facts you glean from schematic diagrams. This is followed by ECM/PCM transistor circuit troubleshooting exercises. |
|
Day 3 of Phase
3: "Practice Troubleshooting Computer Control Systems" |
|
|
Day 3 covers Integrated Circuits (ICs) and reading schematic diagrams containing ICs in complete circuits. Logic gates and truth tables are explained. Students trace digital signals in digital circuits using a Digital Logic Probe (one is provided). This is followed by several troubleshooting exercises combining all circuits taught up to this point including troubleshooting transistor circuits in the ECM/PCM that control actuators (solenoid and relay) to determine if the failure was caused by an actuator failure or simply was a computer driver circuit failure. |
Phase 4 (2-Days) - December 11-12, 2008
"Troubleshooting Vehicle Electronic Circuits
with Analog Lab Scopes"
| Day 5: (Phase 4's 2nd Day) Troubleshooting Vehicle Electronic Circuits with an Analog Lab Scope and more on Wave Form Analysis. | |
|
Day 5 Covers - Practice - Practice - Practice - Setting up an analog lab scope and measuring various signals and analyzing common wave forms in vehicle circuits to identify electronic circuit problems. Students move among work stations to observe problems in wave forms. Different lab scopes are available in the classroom so students become familiar with analog lab scope control names that may differ slightly among lab scopes but serve the same function. |

A Print Out a Registration Form for the current workshop and pricing can be printed
out and mailed or faxed. Payment
of the full tuition in advance for each seat is required. Purchase
Orders from schools accepted to confirm a seat. As soon as tuition
payment or a P.O. is received, your seat is confirmed in your
name and a confirmation letter is sent out with final instructions.
There are two things to do after reserving a workshop seat. (1) Airline Reservations: Book a flight ASAP after having confirmation to qualify for a reduced airfare. Include a Saturday night stay over (the Sat. night before) which can result in significant savings on airfare. 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 manuals will be waiting for you at the front desk with a Welcome Letter covering last minute details about the class schedule and meeting room location in the hotel. ASK FOR YOUR WORKBOOK! 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. Students may depart Dallas on Friday late afternoon and catch 6:00 PM flights at DFW. (2) Hotel Reservations: We recommend you stay at the workshop hotel in Dallas. Their contact information is provided. The Host hotel provides a continental breakfast each morning in the lounge. Lunch each of the 5 workshop days is included in the workshop tuition. Students are responsible for their own evening meal. You may want a rental car since the hotel has no room service and there are only few restaurants close by. It is a safe 10-15 minute walk to some restaurants. Some restaurants will deliver meals to your hotel room. CANCELLATION POLICY: If canceling more than 10 days before the first class day there is a 75% refund. If canceling in less than 10 days before the first class day - 50% refund. Failure to attend - NO REFUND. Lunch each workshop day is included in the workshop tuition. Students are responsible for their own evening meal. |
