ATG Schedule of Classes for June 2017
Posted to Industry Events Forum on 5/25/2017
Greetings, everyone!
The Automotive Training Group (ATG) has the following
classes available for the month of June 2017. All classes
run from 6:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. each night for both
evenings, except where indicated below.
6.0L, 6.4L & 6.7L POWERSTROKE ENGINE
PERFORMANCE: ATG's Engine Performance Training
series helps you choose the best tests that get you the most
information with the least effort. These strategies are even
more critical on Powerstroke engines because they are so
time consuming to work on. This seminar contains
field-tested diagnostic & repair strategies that actually
work, and includes tips and tricks developed in shops across
the nation. Come for some great shortcuts & homemade tools
to quickly isolate faults that can take hours more to find
using conventional diagnostics.
*Johnson City, TN: June 19th & 20th
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.
*Greensboro, NC: June 12th & 13th
*Fayetteville, NC: June 14th & 15th
*Nashville, TN: June 21st & 22nd
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.
*Norwalk, CT: June 7th & 8th
*Hartford, CT: June 14th & 15th
*Rohnert Park, CA: June 26th & 27th
*Sacramento, CA: June 28th & 29th
SCAN TOOLS: BEYOND THE FLOWCHART: This
all-new Scan Tool seminar was built using a completely
different approach -- to show the best PIDs, controls and
other Scan Tool functions to use for each diagnosis. We've
reinvented Scan Tool training because button-pushing and
menu navigation don't make you more successful. Rather,
success comes when you know your Scan Tool so well that you
can set the flowchart aside and 'make up' your own
diagnostic path. Not only is this path more accurate -- it's
quite a bit shorter than the flowchart. There are dozens of
examples of this strategy in action, diagnosing the most
common faults. Come to learn these great new techniques for
zeroing right in on a root cause.
*Des Moines, IA: June 12th & 13th
*Sioux City, IA: June 14th & 15th
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.
*Oklahoma City, OK: June 5th & 6th
*Concord, CA: June 12th & 13th
