AU3. 315 LabScope Diagnostics

Students will focus on the use of Snap-on computer automotive diagnostic equipment. Students will practice with electronic repair data base programs to interpret scan tool data and recover computer system schematics. The course begins with interpreting a simple sensor waveform. By the end of the course students will learn to evaluate computer controlled fuel and ignition systems using the digital storage oscilloscope commonly called the Lab Scope.
