ATG Schedule of Classes for: AUGUST 2018
Posted to Industry Events Forum on 7/11/2018
Greetings Everyone!
The Automotive Training Group (ATG) has the following
classes available for the month of August 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.
*August 1st & 2nd - Woodbridge, NJ with Kris Lewis
*August 27th & 28th - Houston, TX with Rick Kelley
=========================
ADVANCED CIRCUIT & ELECTRICAL TESTING:
This class is about using wiring diagrams as part of a
larger strategy to increase testing accuracy and decrease
testing time (and even the number of tests performed). We're
combining wiring information with codes, symptoms, system
interactions, Scan Tool PIDs & controls, and other
observations.
Yes, technicians who struggle with reading diagrams will
gain important new skills. But for advanced technicians,
each minute spent executing well on the bullet points above
saves 10 minutes of testing time, so this seminar offers a
quick payback for your investment. We are confident that
this seminar is exactly what you need to make you more
successful during circuit diagnosis, long before you even
grab your DVOM.
Beginners will win big, but even experienced technicians
know that every new trick makes them better.
*August 6th & 7th - Fort Smith, AR with Wally Mouradian
=========================
Ford 6.0L, 6.4L & 6.7L Powerstroke Engine Performance
Most available Powerstroke information is simply reprinted
and rearranged OEM information mixed with some field
research. While helpful, this strategy mostly repeats the
linear diagnostic process found in all OEM information.
Considering how much time it takes to diagnose and repair
Powerstroke engines, this traditional linear approach could
cost you hundreds in un-billable time.
That's why we've built this manual and training seminar --
to give you ways to peel in quickly to the actual fault
without wasting time or guessing with expensive parts. Like
our General Motors Duramax Training Manual, this Powerstroke
product has been assembled using actual diagnosis & repair
of a wide variety of engine management, emissions, and
trouble code faults. We've included pictures, Scan Tool
captures, Lab Scope waveforms and much more from simple
tests to full teardowns.
This Powerstroke training is real-world, so it will focus
diagnosis for experienced Powerstroke technicians, but is
also indispensable for those who are just considering the
Powerstroke as the next revenue stream.
*August 27th & 28th - N Charleston, SC with Wally Mouradian
