Description:
In this new treatment of a fundamentally
important subject, student technicians will quickly grasp
electrical principles thanks to the author’s straightforward
comparisons between compressed air systems and electricity. An
emphasis on troubleshooting helps cultivate key problem-solving
skills that are vital to gaining an understanding of modern
truck electrical systems. Numerous examples that feature the
most advanced truck in the North American market, the
International High Performance model, help readers grasp
electrical theory within a high-tech context. Coverage of the
latest topics includes body system controllers, multiplexed
instrumentation, and the interaction between the various
electronic modules on a modern truck.
Features:
- real-world information on multiplexing and electronic
modules on modern trucks is delivered in an easy-to-read
style that is the result of the author's daily work
experience with these products
- a unique method of explaining basic electricity employs
the use of compressed air analogies as an alternative to the
overdone water analogies
- the book strives to simplify the learning process by
stressing the fundamental principles of electricity and
physics without an excessive use of mathematics
- first-hand experiences from a technician's point of view
convey historical information about the electronics
revolution in the automotive industry
- ASE and NATEF correlations are provided in each chapter
where applicable
- To help put classroom theory into shop practice, each
MDT Series title will be offered with a companion Job Sheets
manual. The Job Sheets have been thoughtfully designed by
experienced instructors to assist users in gaining job
preparedness skills and mastering specific technical
competencies required for success as a professional diesel
technician. While designed to support the MDT Series, the
manuals are also useful on their own, or with any
comprehensive or area-specific diesel technology text. The
manuals reference the NATEF Task List and consist of a set
of Job Sheets for each of the following areas:
Electrical/Electronic Systems; Heating Ventilation & Air
Conditioning Brakes; Suspension and Steering; Hydraulics
Diesel Engines; Drive Train Preventative Maintenance
Inspection
