Greetings, everyone!
The Automotive Training Group (ATG) has the following
classes available for the month of April 2017. All classes
run from 6:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. each night for both
evenings.
EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS SYSTEMS: OEM
flowcharts routinely make EVAP system diagnostics too
complicated. Despite the wide variety of systems out there,
our research has revealed that a layered approach is much
faster than the linear OEM approach, leading to a profitable
diagnosis without the wasted (and unbillable) diagnostic
time or multiple trips for your customer. This is the 2nd
subject in our Import Series, but also comes with a thick
Domestic section. First, we show you universal techniques
applicable to every system. If no leaks are found, the
procedures become more system-specific, but not yet
manufacturer-specific. All systems fall into one of four
categories and by following our universal procedures, you
can still avoid the technical nonsense that typically
lengthens diagnostic times! Most faults are found using
these first two layers. We have also included manufacturer
and system specific tips and tricks for those cases where
you'll need to go that deep.
*Highland, CA: April 3rd & 4th
FORD ENGINE PERFORMANCE: This all-new Ford
Engine Performance training manual and seminar covers the
evolving failures of both new and legacy engine management
systems. We provide in-the-trenches explanations of systems
and failures, including case studies that show the latest
tricks for finding root causes fast. This isn't just a
summary of OEM information and training material, but was
built by analyzing actual diagnostic struggles and
documenting the shortest diagnostic paths.
*Riverside, CA: April 5th & 6th
DURAMAX LML & LGH DIESEL ENGINE & EMISSIONS
DIAGNOSTICS: Diesel engines are very simple -- just
compress some air and fuel and you get combustion. However,
with the advent of common rail fuel pressurization and
delivery systems, diagnosis and repair became a complicated
and time-consuming game. Add variable vane turbochargers,
feedback EGR systems, and exhaust aftertreatment systems
like Diesel Particulate Filters, Selective Catalyst
Reduction, and Diesel Exhaust Fluid injection, and it's hard
to know where to start. Other published Duramax repair
information is inconsistent, and many ofthe flow charts run
you in circles performing tests that would actually take
days to complete. In contrast, our approach looks for
high-level indicators to make a better possible-cause list
and then offers multiple simple tests to trim that list as
quickly as possible without taking too much apart. Duramax
coverage includes special tools, workarounds, unused Scan
Tool functions, and other great shortcuts for ruling out
time-consuming tests. From a simple high-level pass to
system-specific tips, this seminar covers the entire
diagnostic process. We have included dozens of real world
examples to prove that these strategies will find the root
cause of your code or symptom in the shortest amount of
time.
*Fairbanks, AK: April 26th & 27th
CUMMINS COMMON RAIL DIESEL & DURAMAX LML/LGH
DIESEL: Diesel engines are very simple -- just
compress some air and fuel and you get combustion. But with
the advent of common rail fuel pressurization and delivery
symptoms, diagnosis and repair became a complicated and
time-consuming game. Add variable vane turbochargers,
feedback EGR systems, and exhaust aftertreatment systems
like Diesel Particulate Filters, Selective Catalyst
Reduction, and Diesel Exhaust Fluid injection, and it's hard
to know where to start. Other published Cummins and Duramax
repair information is inconsistent, and many of the flow
charts run you in circles performing tests that would take
days. In contrast, our approach looks for high-level
indicators to make a better possible-cause list, and then
offers multiple simple tests to trim that list as fast as
possible without taking too much apart. Cummins and Duramax
are each comprehensively covered in separate sections,
including special tools, workarounds, unused Scan Tool
functions, and other great shortcuts. From a simple
high-level pass to system-specific tips, this seminar covers
the entire diagnostic process. We have included dozens of
real world examples to prove that these strategies will find
the root cause of your code or symptom in the shortest
amount of time.

CHRYSLER DRIVABILITY & CODE DIAGNOSTICS:
This all-new Chrysler training seminar is the latest
installment in our Engine Performance series, and continues
the evolution of our products from a systems-based layout to
a diagnostics-based layout. Because of the new format,
today's more complex symptoms and codes become easier to
understand in the classroom and far easier to diagnose back
in the shop. This approach applies to new and legacy engine
management systems, so it will change the way you approach
any Chrysler vehicle. This seminar and manual were built by
analyzing actual diagnostic struggles and documenting the
shortest diagnostic paths for engine management and
emissions systems. Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep & Fiat applications
have a tremendous number of no-starts, stalling complaints,
misfiring, and trouble codes that really mean something
else. This seminar focuses on the best practices to give you
victory over these faults, so it's a great investment in
your career.
