Diagnosis and Troubleshooting Manual PH11 Comprehensive, yet easy-to-read, this text presents principles and practices of diagnosis and troubleshooting of automotive electrical, electronic, and computer systems in a clear, concise format and at a level of detail that far exceeds most similar texts. Additionally, an accompanying interactive, multi-media CD-ROM brings to life the sights and sounds of the “whys” and “hows” of all phases of diagnosis and troubleshooting. Features: NEW—A multimedia CD-ROM—Packaged with the text. Includes sound, animation, color-photo sequences with voice, a waveform library, a glossary of automotive terms, sample ASE test questions, sample worksheets, and the ASE (NATEF) task list for Automotive Electrical/Electronic Systems and Engine Performance. Provides both students and instructors with a convenient resource for a large amount of informative material, and also makes learning more fun for students. NEW—A full chapter on “Audio System Operation and Diagnosis.” Reflects the interests and needs of today's students. NEW—Updated coverage—Includes the use of clamp-on meters, tone generators for locating opens and shorts, capacitance-type battery testers, digital storage oscilloscopes, scan tools, OBD II and I/M-240. Provides state of the art coverage. NEW—More photo sequences. NEW—Free access to an ASE test preparation web site--The text includes a coupon that entitles individual students to free access to the site for an extended period of time. The site features ASE-type questions for Automotive Electrical/Electronic Systems and Engine Performance. The questions are presented 10 at a time, then graded (marked). The correct answer is given as the student scrolls back through the questions. Allows students to study at their own pace and to practice for—and take—the ASE certification tests with confidence. NEW—Many new tech tips, diagnostic stories, and answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs). These sidebars are high interest reading. NEW—Comprehensive instructor package—Includes Instructor's Manual, PowerPoint presentation, videotape of all live-action videos incorporating photo sequences, and a computerized test bank. An emphasis on ASE and NATEF content—Covers the material necessary for Automobile Electrical/Electronic Systems (A6) and Engine Performance (A8) areas of certification as specified by ASE and NATEF. Includes ASE-type multiple-choice questions at the end of each chapter, and contains two sample ASE-type tests in the appendix. Helps students prepare for ASE exam. A focus on the whys as well as the hows—And explores the effects that one component or circuit can have on another. Readers see the whole system at work. Diagnostic Stories and Tech Tips—Includes examples of troubleshooting using actual problems experienced by professionals in the field. Each new topic covers the parts involved, plus the purpose, function, and operation, as well as how to test and diagnose each system. Shows students how real problems are solved on the job in the real world. Hundreds of photos (in 28 photo sequences) and numerous line drawings—Each supported by a detailed caption. Makes content come alive and helps today's visually oriented students more easily learn troubleshooting and service procedures. Practical work sheets—Give students practice in applying the material presented to everyday-type activities and typical service and testing procedures. Includes typical results and a listing of what could be defective if the test results are not within the acceptable range. Help students build diagnostic and testing skills. Chapter Objectives and Chapter Summaries. Helps prepare for tests. Review Questions—At the end of each chapter. Provides a resource for class discussion or homework assignments. A comprehensive glossary. Helps the reader build a high-tech vocabulary. Table of Contents: 1. Electrical System Principles 2. Electrical Circuits and Ohm's Law 3. Fundamentals of Electronics 4.
