So Who Are Technical Topics Training?

So who are technical topics? Their people are behind the technical training offered by some of the biggest names in the industry. Technical topics staff have developed and/or delivered training on behalf of the AA, RAC, Snap-on, Omitec, Techotest, Crypton, Rover, Ford, Saab and Vauxhall.

High Quality Training

The Saturday training days are hosted in purpose built training facilities and offer state of the art training resources. A comfortable learning environment ensures that technicians learn and retain a large proportion of what they are taught. Much of the course is conducted in the workshop and hands-on practice is key element of the training. Quality of training is guaranteed with course places being strictly limited. All technical topics instructors are accredited by the IMI holding either Master or Diagnostic technician certificates, or industry standard training qualifications.

‘Enabling Diagnostic Expertise’ is our mission:

Our aim is to make you quicker and more accurate when diagnosing and repairing vehicle faults.

Common Rail Diesel Diagnostics -  Course Details

Common Rail Diesel systems are now fitted by all of the major motor manufacturers. This course is aimed at enabling you to be confident in quickly and accurately diagnosing faults in the common rail diesel system. This course will take participants through the diesel and electrical sub-systems which together make up the electronic diesel control system.

Course Objective: By the end of this course participants will be able to use a variety of diagnostic tools to quickly and accurately diagnose faults on common rail diesel systems. You will have a detailed understanding of high and low pressure systems, sensors, actuators and diesel engine control strategies.

Who Should Attend: Workshop technicians who are, or would like to be involved with diesel vehicle diagnostics. To gain maximum benefit form this course attendees should have an understanding of basic electrical/electronic principles and ideally have attended an ENGINE MANAGEMENT TRAINING COURSE. You will probably will have been using a scan tool, a multi meter and a fuel pressure gauge to make automotive system tests.

The course covers:

• Advances in diesel injection.
• Health, Safety and Environment.
• The high and low pressure circuits.
• Phases of injection.
• Sensors and Actuators.
• An effective diagnostic process.
• Typical faults and how to diagnose them.
• Analysing serial data stream.
• Common rail diesel and the oscilloscope.

Oscilloscope_Diagnostics - Course Details

You may realise that to be able perform quick accurate diagnostics, you need more than a scan tool and a multi-meter. Come on this course and use a variety of scopes, or bring your own along and you can use it during the practical sessions. This course takes technicians through the effective use and interpretation of oscilloscope waveforms.

Course Objective: By the end of this course you will be able to use an oscilloscope to perform quick accurate diagnosis of complex electronic systems, understand where and how to best measure signals with the oscilloscope and how recognise the difference between good and poor oscilloscope patterns.

Who Should Attend: Workshop technicians who are involved with vehicle diagnostics. To gain maximum benefit form this course attendees should have an understanding of sensor and actuator operation and knowledge of basic electrical/electronic principles.

This is a intermediate level course.

The course covers:

• How best to set-up an oscilloscope in order to measure system voltages
• Interpret simple and complex waveforms
• Setting triggers, using cursors and recording waveform 'movies'
• Diagnosing common sensor and actuator faults
• Analysing Component Relationships
• Performing effective ignition analysis
• Current Ramping (fuel pumps, ignition coils and injectors)

We encourage course participants to bring along their own hand held scopes so that you can learn on the equipment you will use when you return to work.

Oscilloscope Diagnostics, Advanced Diagnostics, Scan Tool Diagnostics and Common Rail Diesel Courses are available from time to time, please call for details.
