COURSE CONTENT
This course is relevant to all technicians involved
in the diagnosis and repair of petrol engine
management systems. While some operating
conditions and faults can be indicated by the use of
a diagnostic tester, an ignition oscilloscope is a vital
diagnostic tool, and an understanding of ignition
waveforms can aid in diagnosing combustion faults
and the ignition system performance. The course
covers all spark ignition technologies, and will
provide delegates with an in-depth understanding
of the ignition process and analysis of ignition
related faults.
We advise delegates to have some prior experience
in using an oscilloscope or to have attended our
course VSTD 9 prior to registering on VSG 2.
On completion of VSG 2,
delegates will be able to:
•
Fully understand the working principles of
ignition system components
•
Connect and use an oscilloscope to display
ignition waveforms
•
Interpret Primary and Secondary ignition
oscilloscope displays
•
Carry out ignition diagnostic tests to indicate
ignition system and engine management
system faults
•
Pinpoint ignition system component faults
•
Spark ignition principles
•
Inductive and hall effect systems
•
ECU controlled ignition
•
Oscilloscope testing of primary and
secondary ignition
•
Ignition waveform analysis
•
Testing of Wasted Spark and Coil on Plug systems
