AUT 233 — Light Vehicle Diesel Systems
The Light Vehicle Diesel Systems course is based on developingchanges in light vehicle diesel engines, diesel emissions and dieselOBD II electronic computer control systems. This course will coverdiesel engine operational theory, engine fault diagnosing, engineinspection and repair. Other topics covered will be diesel fuels, airinduction fuel systems, and turbo chargers. Advanced level topics inthis course will include diesel electrical/electronic systems, dieseldrivability and diagnostics. The students will use their troubleshootingskills developed from previous courses to verify, understand andanalyze faults using schematics, laptop- based scan tools, digitalstorage oscilloscopes (Pico Scope), vehicle repair information,technical service bulletins and special service information inpinpointing system concerns. The student will at times use originalequipment manufacturer (OEM) information to diagnose and repairvehicles when other sources of information are not available. Thecourse will also emphasize the safety of working on diesel enginesand related systems. The student will learn and understand the propertechniques on safely depressurizing fuel systems and powering downrelated systems prior to performing any service work and using propertools and personal protective equipment. After successful completionof this course, students will have a greater knowledge of light dutydiesel technologies found on vehicles today and future makes andmodels.
