This system guides the student through a program of reading and understanding schematic diagrams. The simulator develops an understanding of automotive wiring systems and components. Logical troubleshooting techniques needed to repair modern smart cars can be practiced.
System components include:
- Built-in digital multimeter
|
- Battery, fuse box, connectors
|
- Brake pedal, bonnet, boot, door and glove box openers
|
- Head/turn/tail/reverse/park/hazard, vanity and dome light
|
|
|
- Head, parking, hazard and turn signal lights
|
|
|
|
Conditions difficult to create with actual equipment or mock-ups can be created repeatedly by a simulated system. Malfunctions can be inserted into the fuses, connectors, switches, components and actual wires in the harness.
Experiments and 48 fault-insertion troubleshooting exercises include:
- Identifying and building electrical circuits: series,
parallel and combination
|
- Detection and repair of front and back turning signals, stop
lights, and hazard lights
|
- Identifying electrical system faults: opens, shorts, bad
components, and high resistances
|
- Detection and repair of front and back corner lights, parking
lights, and backup lights
|
- Detection and repair of headlight and interior light subsystem
malfunctions
|
- Detection and repair of open gear selector switch
