Designed specifically for the automotive lab environment, this training provides a practical roadmap for teaching EVAP system operation and repair. We focus on the "big four" components: canisters, purge valves, vent solenoids, and sensors, and how to demonstrate their interaction to students. The session includes a deep dive into OBD II logic and hands on troubleshooting tips that you can immediately integrate into your shop demonstrations to help students identify faults faster.
This class is the ideal foundational class for any technician looking to sharpen their diagnostic edge with real-world, high-value skills. This class demystifies the oscilloscope, showing how it goes far beyond a basic multimeter by revealing what’s happening in a circuit in real time—exactly as a control module sees it. The class is focused on: “How to get the waveform on the screen.” A number of highly requested automotive specific tests will be demonstrated with real scope captures including:
Relative Compression
Secondary Ignition
Intake and Exhaust Pulse Captures
Databus Networks (CAN and LIN)
Dynamic Battery Testing/Starter Testing
Alternator Testing
Camshaft to Crankshaft Correlation
Current Probe Testing of Actuators Including Motors and Solenoids
Each test discussed will encompass: scope setup details, basic waveform anatomy and characteristics, as well as mixing in some real world applications of tests to demonstrate the key concepts. The PDF provided will serve as a clear reference manual for scope users so they can take it back to the bay and practice these skills right away, immediately offering opportunities to expand their skill set.
