| Idle Start-Stop Technologies (U100) - 1 lesson |
|
|
| The Stop-Start system is used to improve fuel efficiency in stop-and-go driving. Turning off the engine under appropriate conditions at a traffic light helps reduce tailpipe emissions and save fuel that would otherwise be wasted idling the engine. When a driver comes to a red light, the engine shuts down while other components continue to run, including the air conditioning system, power steering, brakes and sound system.
The starter motor is upgraded with a high-performance electric motor and a stronger pinion engagement mechanism with reduced noise levels to support the increased number of engine starts. A sensor connected to the battery continually monitors the State of Charge and battery health. The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses this information to calculate if the battery conditions are sufficient for Stop-Start operation.
Start-Stop is a shared strategy among many modules using status information to determine what happens at the next stoplight. Since 2015, almost every major automaker has offered one or more models with idle Start-Stop control. For the technician, this adoption means that serial data communication bus and electrical diagnostics will be much more critical in the future. |

| Maximizing Your Snap-on Scan Tool and Scope Usage (CARS-Snapon) - 1 lesson |
|
|
| CARS OnDemand presents "Maximizing Your Snap-on Scan Tool and Scope Usage", hosted by Will Carcone and Dom Sgambelluri, with special guest National Account Manager Grant Ford from Snap-on.
During this presentation, we will be using the Snap-on Verus Edge to perform a number of tests to diagnose High Speed CAN communication and engine misfire issues, including current ramping the ignition coil and the injector coil and analyzing a secondary ignition coil pattern.
We will perform a relative compression test using the amp clamp and a cylinder compression test using a pressure transducer to determine cylinder faults and engine timing issues.
