Computer and Emissions Systems

Catalog description

This course is designed to provide the student with theory and skill in the design, repair, service, and testing procedures of emission systems, and as well as drivability problems. Electronic service precautions, computer outputs, primary sensors, monitoring capabilities, OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) systems and terms will be covered thoroughly. The use of various types of computers in diagnostic systems, such as retrieving trouble codes, diagnosing computer voltage supply, and ground wires will be presented. The student will also be prepared to test input sensors, actuator sensors, and variable resistor type sensors, generate sensors, and test various computer circuits in the modern day automobile. The legislative history of emission controls, pollutants, evaporative emission control systems, PVC emission control system, exhaust emission control system, EGR (Exhaust, Gas, and Recirculation) systems, catalytic converter systems, troubleshooting and diagnosing emission systems, and engine management by computer systems will be thoroughly covered.
