Duration: Approximately 4 hours

This clinic is designed for technicians who already have a solid electrical foundation and are looking to understand today's vehicles complex body electrical systems. Covered within this workshop will be multiplex network communications and network system diagnostics. We will look at network topology for various body electrical systems and discuss how system modules and components interact with one another. Communication "gateways" and module diagnostics will also be discussed.

This course will take a deep dive into several BCM (body control module) controlled systems and will discuss diagnostic strategies using the scan tool, DMM's and lab scopes to pinpoint, test, and locate problems. After completing this seminar, students will have the knowledge to:

  • Analyze and test various network signals and components on the vehicle
  • Diagnose and test many different vehicle body control systems (lighting, doors, security, etc.)
  • Replace and program (set up) a Body Control module or Gateway module
  • Understand body control system operation strategies
  • Employ scan tool usage in conjunction with electrical circuit tests using a DMM or lab scope

**Please feel free to bring your Digital Multi Meter and any electrical leads/attachments you may have for it**

**If you have a lab scope that is NOT a Pico, Autel, Snap-On, or Hantek, please feel free to bring your DSO and any electrical attachments/leads you may have**
