5 Days of intensive advanced level auto/truck
electrical troubleshooting training.
The ultimate hands-on electrical training experience!
It's amazing all the electrical system troubleshooting a technician can perform on an auto or truck electrical system with just a DMM and a Current Clamp when he knows what to do!

 You will leave this 5-Day Phase 1-Phase 2 Workshop with the ability to troubleshoot auto/truck electrical circuits with proven step-by-step troubleshooting procedures using only a DMM and DC Current Clamp.

Extensive hands-on troubleshooting practice builds self confidence and troubleshooting skill to successfully troubleshoot electrical problems the first day back on the job.

You can never get enough of this kind of auto/truck/heavy equipment
electrical - electronics troubleshooting training!

5-Day Curriculum (Phase 1 & Phase 2)
"The" Advanced Auto-Truck Electrical Hands-On
Troubleshooting Workshop.

Students read a 33 page handout to review
essential electrical/electronic concepts prior to the workshop.
The handout is included in the Workshop Workbook you receive when checking into the hotel. 
Day 1: (Phase 2) 
Essential Troubleshooting Skills with Hands-On Troubleshooting Training
Day 1 covers electrical/electronics troubleshooting training using the Starter Kit Troubleshooting Trainer, H-111, (H-PCB01/02). Students learn how to test and measure circuit voltage, current and resistance with a DMM and what the readings tell you about a circuit. Students study how circuits fail and how to interpret live circuit readings to determine a circuit problem. Reading of schematic diagrams is explained. Then students troubleshoot 32 individual live electrical circuit problems one at a time for hands-on practice. Afterwards, the Digital Logic Probe is explained with its advantages and disadvantages. Students receive and use a Digital Logic Probe to gain additional troubleshooting experience.
Day 2: (Phase 2)
DC Motor Circuits & Advanced Troubleshooting Techniques
Day 2 covers the DC Motor Circuit Troubleshooting Trainer, H-113, (H-PCB03), where students learn advanced electrical/electronics troubleshooting techniques. The differences in ohmmeters; how to avoid damaging sensitive electronic circuits and how to properly use an analog or digital ohmmeter to test solid-state components are explained with hands-on application. Troubleshooting different types of DC motors, starter motor, blower motor circuits and their unique differences is reviewed. Students then troubleshoot about 37 DC Motor circuit problems one at a time for hands-on practice in troubleshooting.
Day 3: (Phase 2)
Relay Circuit Troubleshooting & Advanced Troubleshooting Techniques
Day 3 covers Relay Circuit Troubleshooting Trainer, H-115, (H-PCB05) where students learn how relays work, how relay circuits fail and how to troubleshoot relay circuits. Students learn about spike suppression diodes; what they do and how to properly test them. Students then troubleshoot up to 75 relay circuit problems in the remainder of the third day. Several advanced relay circuit problems are used to convince students what they have learned about troubleshooting as they successfully troubleshoot the most difficult relay circuit problems when the relay is not the problem. 

Day 4: (Phase 1) Advanced Electrical System Troubleshooting
Day 4 Covers the following topics:
(102) What you need to know about batteries and their dual role in the electrical system. Techniques for troubleshooting unusual battery problems many technicians often misdiagnose and why. Proper battery troubleshooting is covered with advanced battery troubleshooting techniques explained using only a DMM and DC Current Clamp.

(104A) Proper operation of cranking/starting circuits is discussed with a systematic step-by-step troubleshooting procedure for finding the cause of any starting circuit problem using only a DMM and Current Clamp. 

Day 5: (Phase 1) Advanced Electrical System Troubleshooting
Day 5 Covers the following topics:
(104B) Generator(alternator) circuits are explained and how the generator interfaces with the electrical system. Computer control of generators (alternators) is explained and how the PCM interacts with the generator (alternator). Analysis of the charging voltage value is discussed and a systematic troubleshooting procedures is given for testing the charging system on the vehicle. Students practice testing the charging voltage on vehicles.

(105) Troubleshooting a vehicle's complete primary 14V electrical system with the systematic troubleshooting procedure called FIRST THINGS FIRST is reviewed before students practice the test procedure with hands-on using vehicles. Students receive a laminated copy of FIRST THINGS FIRST.
(111) The real story of ignition key-off battery drain is discussed - what it is - how much is too much - how to troubleshoot key-off battery drain problems.
(102HD) A review of multiple battery systems is explained with analysis and troubleshooting techniques to find battery problems in multiple battery systems.
This section wraps up the 5-day workshop.
PLENTY OF HANDS-ON PRACTICE PROVIDED IN FIVE DAYS SO TECHS DEVELOP TROUBLESHOOTING SKILLS TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL AUTO-TRUCK ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTERS.
All test equipment is provided. Student manuals total almost 300 pages including several step-by-step troubleshooting procedures to take back to the shop. Class size limited to 12 students. Continental Breakfast and Lunch is included for five days for workshops in Dallas.

Check out our Guest Book and read what techs have to say about attending our hands-on troubleshooting workshops!

Once a workshop is scheduled call 972-276-9642 to register by phone. If an answering machine records your call, leave a message and we will return your call as soon as possible. We suggest you leave your business and home phone number so we can contact you in the evening if our staff is on the road.
