ATG Schedule of Classes for: JULY 2018
Posted to Industry Events Forum on 6/12/2018
Greetings Everyone!
The Automotive Training Group (ATG) has the following
classes available for the month of July 2018. All classes
run from 6:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. each night for both
evenings, except where indicated below.
=========================
VEHICLE NETWORK DIAGNOSTIC STRATEGIES
Whether you're experiencing a no-communication fault,
U-Codes, or systems that are not operating properly, you
need a flexible diagnostic plan that can adapt to the nature
of the fault and the available tools. Therefore, that's how
we built this all-new Vehicle Network Diagnostic Strategies
training manual and seminar. Like all ATG products, this one
tackles the 'High Level Indicators' first to quickly
eliminate the most possible causes. This allows you to
define the type of fault, determine the network
configuration and expected test values to create the best
diagnostic plan for the likely causes that remain. Only then
do we cover specific network topology, known-good values,
and specific Scan Tool and circuit test options, so you get
the details precisely when you need them. This seminar and
manual were researched in the shop from actual network
opens, shorts, Scan Tool faults and module faults, as well
as a number of unexpected system and component interactions.

GENERAL MOTORS DRIVABILITY & CODE DIAGNOSTICS:
This all-new General Motors training seminar is the latest
installment in our Domestic Engine Performance series, with
topics arranged to maximize diagnostic efficiency by
starting every discussion with 'High Level Indicators'.
You can follow a 4-hour flowchart and fix 80% of the codes
and drivability complaints, or you can practice the high
level approach to narrow down possible cause lists and sort
through what's left in a fraction of the time. Every year
General Motors engine management systems become more complex
while available system information and diagnostic
instructions become more generalized.
This seminar and manual were researched in the shop, and not
from published repair information. Using this method, we've
developed repeatable GM diagnostics based on actual failure
patterns and proven best practices.
*July 9th & 10th - Montrose, CO with Rick Kelley
*July 9th & 10th - Nashville, TN with Eric Walker
*July 11th & 12th - Colorado Springs, CO with Rick
Kelley
*July 11th & 12th - Bowling Green, KY with Eric Walker
*July 16th & 17th - Fresno, CA with Dean Parsons
*July 18th & 19th - Modesto, CA with Dean Parsons
=========================
DIRECT INJECTION & AIR INDUCTION SYSTEMS DIAGNOSTICS:
This all-new training seminar is the third in our popular
Import series. Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) is simple in
design but difficult to diagnose because the traditional
shortcuts of swapping out parts and disassembling for
inspection are not practical. This is why we have adapted
ATG's 'High Level Indicator' approach for ruling out
possible causes before parts come off. The same approach
applies to induction system diagnostics where repair
information is vague, component access is difficult, and
feedback loops are not always available. For all systems
covered, the approach is first universal, and becomes
manufacturer-specific only after the possible cause and
tool/test lists have been completed and trimmed down. This
seminar and manual were built by analyzing actual diagnostic
struggles and documenting the shortest diagnostic paths for
these systems. Because of this practical approach, you won't
be buried in useless engineering detail -- only useful facts
that you can measure and that will help guide your
diagnostic path. This seminar continues the ATG tradition of
saving you diagnostic time.
We are in the 'wasted test prevention' business, and we hope
you can attend!
*July 23rd & 24th - Green Bay, WI with Wally Mouradian
*July 25th & 26th - Madison, WI with Wally Mouradian
(6p-9:30p)
==========================
INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL & DRIVABILITY DIAGNOSTIC
STRATEGIES
ATG training manuals & seminars contain great strategies
for thinking your way through a diagnosis. However, many
diagnostic situations first call for duplicating the symptom
or code, and this can be extremely frustrating. Well, now
there's a seminar just for this problem! ATG believes that
faults are usually present and measurable even if the
symptoms or codes are intermittent, so we've developed a
repeatable strategy for flushing out these elusive faults.
This seminar applies to all manufacturers, so everyone will
benefit. Intermittent faults stretch every technician's
skills, so come to this class to learn how to win against
the toughest diagnostic challenges.
*July 16th & 17th - Greenville, SC with Wally Mouradian
*July 18th & 19th - Greensboro, NC with Wally Mouradian
