Discussed topics include: Ohms law, measuring current, voltage, and resistance, troubleshooting electronic problems.

This course features intensive classroom and hands-on vehicle diagnostic training to properly service Kelsey Hayes, Delphi VI, and Teves, anti-lock braking systems.  The systems include Kelsey Hayes RWAL, ZPRWAL, RABS, 4WAL, EBC310/410, GM Delphi VI, and Teves Mark IV/20, Diagnostic equipment, service strategies and wiring schematics are the primary focus of this course. Instruction includes hands-on with today’s popular hand-held scanners.

This course features four days of in-depth ABS instruction and is recommended for individuals who have had previous brake training or have completed course TC-100,  TC-104, and/or TC-106. Discussed topics include Hydraulic theory, Electrical theory, and electronic control components. ABS systems include Teves II, Mark IV and 20, Bosch 2U and 5, Kelsey Hayes EBC 4, 310, 325, and 410, Delphi VI and EBC-7, Bendix 6, 9, and 10. Traction control systems will be discussed in relationship to the ABS controllers. DVOM and SCAN tools will be used to diagnose system faults.

This course provides the technician with the latest information for commonly asked questions on ABS systems operation. Diagnostic procedures, trouble code retrieval, clearing, and bleeding procedures are covered. Service procedures to make the technician’s jobs easier and some important published service bulletins are included in this course. The program is designed to be fast paced, and very informative. The technician will be exposed to little known and mostly unpublished service, diagnostic, repair information and procedures that have been field-proven by experienced technicians.

This course will focus on the foundation of chassis, steering, suspension and wheel alignment service. Theory of design, suspension and steering fundamentals and an understanding of why certain designs and systems are used on various types of vehicles will be explained. Parts identification, function, inspection procedures, and diagnostics and inspection specifications will be covered.

This three-day course provides technicians the information and training needed to help prepare for ASE Suspension and Steering Test A4. Discussed topics include steering and suspension system diagnosis and repair, alignment angles, alignment procedures, reading tire wear patterns, and wheel bearing problems. Practice ASE tests will be given and discussed.

This three-day training course will give insight into the theory and application of thrust type and 4-wheel alignments. Basic and advanced alignment angles will be covered and how raising or lowering vehicles affects them. Alignment products such as shims and cams will be discussed and installed on various types of vehicles. Variable effort steering and different types of electronic suspension diagnostics and repair procedures will be covered.

This one-day class will cover up to date problems being experienced in the field by technicians. Topics will include diagnosing and repairing steering and suspension systems that are currently causing high rates of problems. Proper checking techniques will be covered and practiced. The use of the proper parts for the vehicle, such as low friction design, will be discussed.
