4.         New tire technologies

 

 

Introduction to Digital Storage Oscilloscopes

  

Learn the power of using a DSO as a diagnostic tool.  We will discuss scope principles such as voltage, time, trigger, slope, and more.  We will break waveforms from common inputs and outputs down into usable diagnostic pieces.  Low current probe applications basic Ohm's law will also be discussed.

 

1.       Master the basics of voltage, time, trigger, etc.

2.       Learn to analyze waveforms from multiple components.

3.       Be able to use this new knowledge to make diagnostic decisions.

 

 

 

Scan Data analysis for driveability diagnostics

 

This class covers a wide range of information to help you understand and diagnose driveability issues with a scan tool and your mind.  Focus stresses the process of elimination and streamlineing your diagnostic process.

 

   1.  Code and no code diagnostics

   2.  Successfully diagnose low power problems

   3.  Volumetric efficiency

   4.  Learn what PIDS can be valuable when

   5.  The Load PID

   6.  Repair verification
