  Course Aim  
 
To facilitate a good understanding of electronically controlled engine systems, to enable simple diagnosis and repair using high tech test equipment.		  
     
 
  Course Duration  
 
1 day seminar  (7 hours contact)		  
     
 
  Course Content  
 
Note : The content of this course is orientated to oscilloscope use as this facilitates a good understanding of sensors and how they operate.

Fundamentals of electronic control systems, electronic fuel injection and idle speed control; electronic ignition systems; diagnostic equipment and procedures.		  
     
 
  Target Group  
 
Technical staff that need to enhance their understanding of relevant vehicle systems allied to the functions of high tech test equipment. It should be considered as the start of a process, refreshing the knowledge of experienced technicians and introducing those less experienced to electronic control systems and diagnosis.		  
     
 
  Overview  
 
Pre-test
Fundamentals of electronic control - concentrating on the interaction between sensors, control units and actuators.
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) L type, Motronic, EECIV/V
