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

This course addresses the diagnosis of powertrain control systems including engine and automatic transmissions. Gasoline fuel injection, direct fuel injection, flex-fuel, and diesel computerized engine controls will be addressed. The diagnosis and repair 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 also be studied. The diagnosis of 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. Hands-on diagnosis of these systems will involve the advanced use of scan tools, the Fluke 88V DMM, oscilloscopes, and related diagnostic equipment comprises a significant part of this course.
