Standard Motor Products Training Bundle

In this session we will discuss the various components such as cameras, radars, blind spot detection modules, and park assist sensors and review service opportunities and procedures for the aftermarket. 

In this program, presented by Standard Motor Products director of Training Ryan Kooiman shows step-by-step procedures and a few tricks and tips to help technicians repair A/C systems right the first time. Several case studies are also featured.

Turbochargers are used in all light truck diesels have become common in small displacement engines. These systems change the diagnosis of fuel trim and engine breathing. Technician must understand turbocharger components and operation for proper diagnosis of engine performance complaints.

Engine performance problems typically set DTCs and technicians can fall into the trap of replacing parts based only on the code stored. Often, replacing parts based on DTCs alone does not solve the problem. Sometimes a vehicle can have symptoms but does not set a code. The goal of this class is to prepare technicians […]

How long has it been since you had “the car” that has been to several shops but is not fixed? Join us as we follow diagnostic techs as they tackle tough diagnostic scenarios. You will have an opportunity to diagnose them to see if you can arrive at the correct conclusion.   Runtime: 30 minutes

Compared to the mid-90s, diesel vehicles have made a serious comeback. The increase in popularity is largely the result of a steady string of advancements and improvements to the diesel engine. New engine designs, noise- and vibration-damping technologies, and improvements like electronic engine control have spawned a new generation of engines that are more powerful […]

ABS is the core element used for vehicle stability systems. New active wheel speed sensors combined with active control of braking and throttle controls have made vehicles much safer.

This class will show you what you need to know about how the components work together.

Chevrolet has teamed up with Isuzu to bring yet another winning Duramax engine to their diesel offerings. Beginning in 2016, the new 2.8L Duramax has been available for the Chevrolet Colorado.

Chrysler and Jeep engine controls have undergone big changes and are now using a common engine control module design. You need good information to successfully diagnose driveability and emissions problems on these vehicles.

In this class, we will cover diagnostic tips to help you decide if a driveability concern is caused by the engine or the transmission. We will use case studies to demonstrate additional failures.

Automatic transmissions are controlled by the engine control system and use many of the same inputs. Transmissions also contain integral sensors and control actuators. You might be surprised to know that you can fix many transmission complaints using the same techniques you use for driveability diagnosis.

In this class we will look at the evolution of fuel injection from throttle body to direct injection. We will demonstrate diagnosis and repair procedures using several case studies.

Technicians are often faced with diagnostic dilemmas without the benefit of accurate service information, OE scan tools, and lab scopes.

Many vehicles are being built with r1234yf refrigerant systems. You will need to upgrade your equipment and service practices to accommodate them. Are you ready for this AC season?

These cars have some unique operation and diagnostic quirks which can lead you down the wrong path. This class will help you get ready to diagnose common problems and be profitable while doing it.

In days gone by, a simple test light could be used to identify whether an excessive amperage draw on the battery was present. However, modern vehicles require more sophisticated testing and an understanding of the vehicle network and Power Moding.

We will cover the different types of injectors and fuel delivery systems used on common engines. Proper installation techniques will be demonstrated.

This class will improve your misfire diagnostic skills.

Valve actuation systems have undergone major changes in the last decade. Variable timing and variable lift are now common place and in some cases exist together on the same engine. Displacement-On-Demand systems have also been used on some engines to deactivate cylinders with special lifters and oil control.

The Duramax engine has undergone a number of changes over the years and presents technicians with many service opportunities as well as diagnostic challenges.

We will leverage service information and schematics, scan data, meters, and lab scopes to arrive at a diagnostic conclusion. You will have an opportunity to analyze the data and information to see if you have what it takes to solve these problems.

Vehicles are full of relays. Some can be replaced separately and some are integrated in modules which must be replaced as an assembly. You need a fast and accurate method to diagnose them.

The use of scan data for diagnosing vehicle faults with or without stored DTCs can be very powerful. What is often missing in training is how to leverage the information. Select this class to:

There are many types of sensors being used on vehicles today to measure pressure, temperature, position, and mass. This class will help you to understand how they work and to troubleshoot problems with them.

We all have a meter in our toolbox. Do you know how to use all the features? What’s the best way to check a live circuit? How do you measure current? What is delta? The meter can do so much more than open circuit testing. In this class we will show you how to use your meter to test a variety of circuits and improve your ability to get the most from this powerful tool.

This class will help you to develop a solid diagnostic procedure to find the root cause of 6.0L misfires.

This powerful L6 engine offers many service opportunities and is more easily serviced than other diesel engines.

Many technicians have realized the power that a lab scope can add to their diagnostic arsenal.  However given the numerous other tools needed for their work, they are often unable to purchase an expensive lab scope for the occasional job that requires one. 

In this class we will use a live demonstration to connect a scope to several common devices. We will then show you how to dial in to see the best picture of the signal.

Many technicians dread dealing with catalytic converter codes such as the P0420 and P0430. Catalysts can be very expensive and there might be additional problems which could quickly damage them.

In this class we will develop a strategy for diagnosing both HEUI and common rail equipped engines when they don’t start.

In order to meet fuel efficiency and emission mandates imposed by the federal government, GM has continued to expand their offering of light hybrid and idle stop vehicles.

Don’t have a lab scope? Does this mean you cannot troubleshoot the tough problems? Perhaps you’re not getting as much value from your scan tool and DMM as you could be.

Most vehicle manufacturers use unloaded circuit testing in their trouble charts which often lead to a misdiagnosis. This class will help you to understand voltage drop testing to diagnose component and wiring faults.

In this class, we will dissect diagrams and show you how to find important clues to problems and diagnose the car quickly.
