Product Description

Mechanical, or base engine faults can be difficult to diagnose. Technicians can replace the wrong parts or spend a lot of wasted time on diagnosis when the cause of the problem lies inside the engine. With the introduction of advanced valve actuation systems, the difficulty faced by technicians has grown. Fortunately, new diagnostic tools and techniques are now available to make the job easier.

The goal of this class is to prepare the aftermarket technician to use the appropriate tools to identify many base engine faults without engine teardown. In the class, we will demonstrate testing techniques using new tools such as amp probes, pressure transducers, and lab scopes to improve diagnostic speed and accuracy. We will compare the new techniques to traditional testing methods. Learning will be reinforced by working through real-world failures applying both traditional and advanced diagnostic techniques.

After attending this class, the technician will be able to:

  • Perform traditional compression tests and understand the limitations
  • Perform and evaluate a relative compression test
  • Perform and evaluate a cylinder leakage test
  • Perform a VE and engine load test
  • Perform and evaluate an intake and exhaust pressure variation test
  • Perform and evaluate an in-cylinder compression test

    Great job learned alot Thanks

  13. Andrew Yager

    Too many instances of instructor beginning a case study half way finish and withhold the answers until significantly later in the class.
    It is easier if we stay on topic/vehicle.
