Emphasis is placed on developing a diagnostic approach to problem-solving. One-half of class time is spent in practical labs. In this course the apprentice studies various types of torque convertors and automatic transmissions. The fundamentals, operating principles, and construction are discussed. Limited slip differentials are covered at this time.
Equal time is spent on theory and lab.
This course familiarizes the apprentice mechanic with an in-depth study of vehicle suspension and steering systems. The operation and service procedure for the basic anti-lock brake systems is covered. Equal time is spent on theory and lab. This course covers operating and servicing procedures for advanced air conditioning systems. Upon completion of this course, students are able to diagnose current automatic temperature controlled air conditioning systems, repair or replace electronic system components, and use elaborate on-board diagnostic methods.
