DIAG 2640 - Powertrain Control System Service

3 Credit(s) 1 credit lecture/2 credits lab

This course addresses the operation and servicing of powertrain control systems, including engine and automatic transmissions. Gasoline fuel injection, direct fuel injection, flex-fuel, and diesel computerized engine controls will be discussed. The purpose, theory of operation, and service of advanced engine systems such as variable valve timing, cylinder deactivation, variable displacement oil pumps, electrically heated thermostats, and electric water pumps will also be covered. Gasoline engine ignition systems and diesel engine cold start systems will be studied. Both gasoline and diesel emission control systems will be addressed, including diesel particulate filter, diesel emission fluid, early fuel evaporation, and exhaust gas temperature and pressure systems. Automatic transmission shift control strategy and operation will also be explored. Hands-on service of these systems will be a significant part of this course.
