2024-2025 Technical Training Webinars

Tesla Overview

This class provides an overview to Tesla systems including HV electronics, HV Battery and much more. This class will also include instruction on how to access the vehicle's onboard diagnostic menu, how to get Tesla service information, Tesla wiring diagrams and much more. Tesla vehicles are the best selling EVs worldwide. If you are going to service them, you must know how they work.

Modern Charging Systems

Modern charging systems do much more than turn the alternator on and off. Newer systems manage system voltage, communicate with other systems using a LIN BUS, manage the battery to maximize battery life and performance and manage alert messages in the instrument cluster. This class looks at how these systems work and how to test them.

Advanced Case Studies Part 9

New Case Studies, different problems, different diagnostic techniques. All are covered in this class using case studies derived from our diagnostic business. Learn how we worked our way through these unique problems. This class does not require you to have attended any of our previous classes.

Tesla Heat Pump Systems

The Tesla heat pump system is unique in design and operation. This class covers operation of the system, the Octovalve and Super manifold assembly, fluid and refrigerant flows and all other aspects of this system. Technicians will also learn how to access the service function built into the vehicle and how to access service functions to service this system.

Variable Geometry Compressor AC Systems

Most modern AC systems use a Variable Geometry compressor. Older systems like cycling clutch and Orifice Valve systems have been replaced. These newer systems operate differently and require careful diagnosis especially if the compressor fails to perform or performs improperly. This class looks at how these systems operate and how to troubleshoot them properly.

Serial Decoding of LIN BUS and CAN BUS Signals

This class looks at using scope software to determine if modules are sending good or bad data, if any of the data is corrupt, identifying data packets from individual modules and much more. This class will help you identify BUS or module faults when codes and basic tests let you down.

Electrical Testing Beyond the Basics

Next level electrical diagnostics. This class goes beyond basic circuit testing and teaches the technician how to test components, solenoids, relays, switches and much more. A scope will be utilized along with a current probe to show technicians how to properly test components. A must for any technician doing electrical diagnosis.

Modern Immobilizer and Key Systems

These systems are very complex and can be frustrating to deal with. This class covers the basic principals of how these systems operate, how to test systems and components, how to perform the various relearn and programming procedures including how to add keys, etc. We will look at immobilizer codes and much more. Even if you are not interested in immobilizer systems you are forced to deal with them for other procedures such as PCM replacement.
