Service Technology Level 3
Introduction of Electrical Systems
During the 1st quarter of the semester students will study electrical and electronic theory. Enrolled students will develop a logic-based approach to diagnosis and repair of common automotive electrical problems. Scan Tools, Digital Volt Ohm Meters, and computer based Diagnostic Software will be used during lab. Students will service inspect or replace battery. Perform slow/fast battery charge in accordance with manufacturer. Perform charging system output test and identify undercharge, no charge, or overcharge condition. Inspect, adjust, and replace generator alternator drive belts, pulleys, and tensioners. Remove, inspect, and replace alternator. Inspect, replace, and aim headlights bulbs and auxiliary lights fog lights/driving lights Completed simple circuits principals. This course will utilize a 70% hands-on experience for entry-level technician. Safety Glasses and Protective clothing will be provided. Steel toe shoes are recommended.
Automatic & Manual Drive Train Principals
Enrolled students during the 2nd quarter of the semester will focus on automatic and manual transmissions. Students will identify internal components for operation in both automatic and manual transmissions, entry-level diagnosis for simple faults and preventative maintenance. Students will identify drivetrain placement FWD vs RWD and 4X4. Students will determine transmission fluid type, level, and condition. Students will inspect transmission for leaks replace external seals, axles, drive shafts and powertrain mounts. Students will Inspect and replace drive shaft, half-shaft, and universal joints and Constant Velocity joints. This course will utilize a 65% hands-on experience for entry-level technician. Safety Glasses and Protective clothing will be provided. Steel toe shoes are recommended.
