High School Students will learn fundamental electrical theory and system diagnostic services. This will include ohm's law, series and parallel circuits, relays, DVOM usage, wiring harness repairs, batteries, charging, starting and lighting system diagnosis.
Adult Students will learn battery testing and maintenance. This course will cover electrical theory and Digital Volt Ohm Meter (DVOM) operation. The student will learn basic system checks using a DVOM. Students will learn soldering techniques for wiring and other connections.Also, the student will study general electrical system diagnosis. The student will learn to check voltage drop on circuits, locate shorts, test grounds, test relays and circuit breakers and then determine necessary action. The student will learn to diagnose and repair starting systems, charging systems as well as horn and windshield wiper systems. The student will also learn to diagnose and repair lighting circuits, sockets and controllers. Also covered in this course will be gauges, warning devices, drivers information system and sending units for gauges. The student will cover diagnosing and repairing accessories such as motor driven accessory circuits, cruise controls, electrical heated seats and mirrors and factory installed audio systems. This course will cover the Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) service as well as safety procedures to prevent accidental deployment. Students will also cover module communication, including the Controller Area Network (CAN).
