AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRONICS:
VEHICLE SENSORS
& COMPONENTS
COURSE OVERVIEW
Technicians involved in diagnostic and repair work
on any electronically controlled vehicle system. The
aim of this electronics laboratory-based course is
to provide a sound knowledge of basic electronic
principles to aid in understanding the internal
working principles of the sensors and components
found on modern vehicle electrical systems.
Course emphasis is on the practical construction of
electronic circuits using discrete componentry, the
study of various sensor technologies and the bench
testing of vehicle components. Relationships are
established between the fundamental workings of
electronics and actual vehicle applications.
•
Electronic properties, atomic behaviour and
magnetic principles
•
Series, parallel and composite resistive circuits
•
Voltage dividers, Wheatstone bridge, MAP and
air mass sensors
•
Inductors, capacitors and sensor applications
•
Semiconductor technology, diodes, LED’s
and transistors
•
Speed, position, movement, gas and further
sensor technologies
It is strongly recommended that delegates for this
electronics course have successful completed
the Bosch Diagnostic Technician programme.
Delegates are expected to be familiar with common
electrical principles and an understanding of basic
mathematical principles will also be of advantage.
On successful completion of VSE7,
delegates will be able to:
•
Carry out advanced analysis of vehicle electronic
faults at an accomplished level and utilise specific
component test procedures to provide extra
data in the evaluation of vehicle system and
component faults.
•
Use the knowledge gained on the
functioning of electronic devices to confirm
components requiring replacement or
repair where appropriate
