Course Title: Proper Electrical Testing

Course Description: 

Every day, as technicians, we are confronted with electrical faults. It is almost impossible to name a system in a vehicle that is not electronically controlled or monitored. This means we should be a Master of Electrical testing. This course builds a foundation of electrical theory and testing to use on every vehicle.

You will learn functions that your DVOM has but are seldom used to become more proficient in your testing and achieve the results you need. We cover the benefits of voltage drop versus standard voltage potential testing. We will also explore the value of current charging versus ohmic or resistance testing. These two tests alone will fundamentally change the way you approach electrical faults and more importantly reduce the amount of time you spend diagnosing them.

• Voltage drop
• AC & DC voltage tests
• Current Charging
• Resistance Testing
• Diode and component tests
• Frequency testing
• Temperature testing
