Diagnostics and Engine Management 1

COURSE CONTENT

Note: the content of this course is orientated fully to oscilloscope use as this facilitates a good understanding of sensors and how they operate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTOR

Induction - introduction to training staff and subject, aims of course and course outline. Lunch, tea/coffee and biscuits at appropriate times.

OVERVIEW

* Fundamentals of electronic control - concentrating on the interaction between sensors, control units and actuators.
* Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) L type, Motronic, EECIV/V

SENSORS

* Operation of and signals from:-
* Air metering devices including vacuum sensors (MAP), hot wire (air mass meter), Karmen Vortex type air flow meter and vane type air flow meters.
* Temperature sensors
* Exhaust Gas Oxygen sensors

* Knock sensors
* Throttle position sensors
* Engine speed sensors
* Crank position sensors

ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNITS

* Basic operation

ACTUATORS

* Operation of and signals to:-
* Fuel injectors
* Idle speed control valves
* Spark control

PRACTICAL

Implementation of theory using delegate’s vehicles and select high tech test equipment. Delegates are encouraged to bring their own test equipment if it is available.

CONCLUSION

* Discussions, summary and conclusions
* Exam
* Feedback from course
* Certificates will be issued by post after the course
* Technicians will be issued with documentation to record their experiences/difficulties between now and their attendance of Diagnostics and engine management 2.

PLEASE NOTE, IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Although this course is mainly oscilloscope orientated, some time will also be given to scanner operation. For more detailed scanner operation see Diagnostics and Engine Management 2.

COURSE DURATION -

2 days (14 hours contact)

Home capped at 8 learners

**For all ‘Home’ course options we need a suitable area in which to train. For theory sessions this could be a classroom, boardroom, office or something similar. For workshop practical training we will need a bay, preferably with a ramp. Any more than 4 learners and this requirement may be 2 bays and a vehicle (we can advise as appropriate).
