Mechanics Training - Electronic Fundamentals
This course will give the student a strong foundation in 12 and 24 volt electrical systems used in mobile equipment. Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Understand the electron flow in a circuit and how it relates to circuit troubleshooting.
- Identify and troubleshot series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits.
- Demonstrate the use of a DVOM for troubleshooting electrical circuits.
- Identify and read the schematic symbols in a typical electrical schematic.
- Troubleshot using a diagnostic code and understand how the code is generated.
The learning environment will be established in both the classroom and the service shop.
Electrical System Fundamentals:
This course is designed for the heavy-duty mechanic or technician who requires and understanding of the electrical systems used on today’s modern machinery. Training will include electrical concepts, diagnostic tooling, electrical schematic interpretation, lighting systems, connectors and wiring repair, starting and charging systems and an introduction to electronics. Lab sessions will reinforce the lessons with hands on electrical applications using training aids and machines.
