This class will also focus on electronic components, their functions and application to Automotive engine control systems. Projects will include the construction of electrical circuits for the application understanding solid-state device functions and applications. Additionally, this course will have preparatory instruction for the technician-level ASE L-1 (Advanced Engine Performance) Trade examination. The focus is placed on advanced engine management components and emission systems including: Fuel Delivery, Fuel Injection, Direct Injection, Variable Valve Timing, Variable Valve Lift, and Variable Displacement engine systems, Electronic Ignition, Emission Control Systems, computer networks and Bus systems with an emphasis on the interaction of these systems on late-model vehicles. Advanced-level troubleshooting techniques including the use of Diagnostic Scanners to interface with vehicle onboard computer systems for data analysis, electronics and their function, and Lab Scopes for the testing of computer controlled electrical circuits are large components in the lab portion of this class.
