Work like a Detective to Quickly Narrow Down the Possible Causes of an Electrical Problem
This course focuses on teaching beginner and intermediate students, as well as do-it-yourselfers, to understand automotive starting system operation and electrical schematics. Steve simplifies the concepts and explains a process that promotes quick and accurate diagnostic results. By taking this course, students will be able to understand and narrow down the potential causes of system problems.
For new technicians, practicing what is taught in this program can consistently decrease the time it takes to diagnose electrical faults. While the course primarily focuses on starting system schematics, the diagnostic principles and procedures taught here can also be applied to other automotive electrical systems.
Although prior experience is not required to benefit from this course, it is recommended—especially for beginners and intermediate learners—that you first complete my introductory and intermediate electrical schematic diagnostic courses. Of course, if you plan to perform any work on a vehicle yourself, make sure you are comfortable and possess the necessary hands-on skills.
The course explains the foundational material necessary to understand and diagnose many basic and intermediate starting system schematics. The more you practice what is taught in this course and apply the process to different wiring diagrams on your car, the more comfortable and proficient you will become.
