Car Engine Diagnostic Skills Training
Duration: 40 Hours (5 Days)Level: Beginner to IntermediatePrerequisites: Basic understanding of automotive systems
Course Description:
This course provides hands-on training in diagnosing common and complex car engine issues using modern diagnostic tools and techniques. Participants will learn systematic troubleshooting methods, interpret fault codes, and perform real-world diagnostics on various engine systems.
Course Objectives:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand engine operation and key components.
- Use diagnostic tools (OBD-II scanners, multimeters, oscilloscopes).
- Interpret trouble codes (DTCs) and live data.
- Diagnose fuel, ignition, compression, and emission-related issues.
- Apply logical troubleshooting techniques to identify engine problems.
Course Modules:
Module 1: Introduction to Engine Diagnostics
- Overview of engine systems and components
- Common engine problems and symptoms
- Safety precautions in engine diagnostics
Module 2: Diagnostic Tools and Equipment
- OBD-II scanners (basic vs. advanced)
- Multimeters and oscilloscopes for electrical testing
- Fuel pressure gauges and compression testers
- Scan tool software and live data analysis
Module 3: Understanding Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)
- Types of DTCs (P, B, C, U codes)
- Freeze frame data and its importance
- False codes vs. real faults
Module 4: Systematic Diagnostic Approach
- The 5-step diagnostic process (verify, retrieve, analyze, test, repair)
- Using wiring diagrams and service manuals
- Interpreting sensor data (MAF, MAP, O2, CKP, CMP)
Module 5: Fuel System Diagnostics
- Fuel pump, injector, and pressure regulator testing
- Diagnosing lean/rich conditions
- Common fuel-related DTCs (P0171, P0172, P0300)
Module 6: Ignition System Diagnostics
- Spark plug, coil, and ignition module testing
- Misfire diagnosis (P0301-P0308)
- Using an oscilloscope for ignition analysis
Module 7: Compression and Mechanical Engine Diagnostics
