Management Systems

This is a two day course. It is aimed at vehicle technicians who would like to learn more about how to carry out effective testing and diagnosis of modern petrol engine management systems. The course covers the  following main subjects:

• Overview of engine management main features and functions
• Ignition systems diagnosis (including technical overview of capacitive discharge ignition)
• Fuel systems diagnosis (including technical overview of Gasoline Direct Injection)
• Sensor signal utilization
• Actuator control functions
• Fuel trim and exhaust gas analysis
• Diagnostic trouble codes and EOBD
• Live data analysis and actuator diagnosis
• Turbo boost control systems
• Emission control systems
• Diagnosis and fault finding
• Course assessment

The aim of the course is to give a detailed technical overview of modern petrol engine management systems and diagnostic techniques. At the start of the course, delegates each receive a fully illustrated workbook.

Practical activities during the course include diagnosis of ignition and fuel systems, analysis of diagnostic trouble codes and live data and testing and diagnosis of components using dedicated tools and equipment, test instruments, oscilloscope, diagnostic scan tool, wiring diagrams and all available technical information sources.

By the end of the course, delegates will understand the function and operation of the petrol engine management system and be able to identify factors (both mechanical and electronic) which can affect the smooth running of the engine.
