Automotive General Service Technician (NATEF Compliant)
In this course the student 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).
