Targeting & Destroying Intermittent Faults
Very few techs enjoy dealing with a customer who starts by saying, “Sometimes my car does ”. NAPA Autotech Training can give you the information you need to quickly formulate a plan of action for handling intermittent faults. We will show you how to take the Critical Thinking Skills learned in earlier classes and apply them to the car at hand. Using your lab scope, or logic probe, to drill down rapidly to a problem’s cause is a snap when you know what to expect from a given system. For example, when a fault occurs how does the module in command handle it? What is the reaction to an open or shorted circuit. Knowing how the computer is likely to react can provide valuable clues to the failed system.
