The course is primarily a lab-based course, with most of the course work consisting of diagnosing and repairing various problems on cars that the student may not have encountered in previous classes. Labs will test the learner on their ability to diagnose failures on a complete vehicle scale that include all electrical and mechanical systems and how they function relative to each other. As a portion of the course, reviewed material will follow the eight ASE 2017 standard areas of study, and will expand upon these areas via diagnostic and industry standard technical material and testing methods. Usage of the proper diagnostic processes is required for success in this course. Proper use of lab scopes, DVOM’s, scan tools, and other high level diagnostic equipment are crucial to success in the course.
