AUT 125 — Automotive Electronics
A continuation of AUT 115, this course covers electrical/electronicsystems. Electronics theory is covered, giving students anunderstanding of electronic solid-state components and systems, andwill include charging systems, starting systems, ignition systems, anti-lock brakes, supplemental restraint systems and computer controls.Activities completed in this course allow students to learn andunderstand the concepts of electronics as they apply to vehicleelectronic systems and proper diagnosing and repairing of thesesystems. These activities will include an introduction to electronicscovering diodes, transistors, capacitors and how these semi-conductorcomponents are used in electronic systems. Electronic systemdiagnostics will include the importance of using a digital multi-meterand logic probe to prevent meter loading in electronic circuits.Laptop/tablet-based scan tools, graphing meters, oscilloscopes andother electronic diagnostic equipment will be used to understand anddiagnose electronic systems during lab activities. Prerequisite: AUT115 or instructor’s permission
