Copyright: 2021
Subject: Automotive
Grade Level: 9-14

Auto Electricity and Electronics teaches the design, operation, and diagnosis of starting, charging, ignition, lighting, and other major systems. The text stresses the use of on-board diagnostics, as well as conventional meter tests, to find electrical, electronic, and computer-related problems. A chapter on advanced diagnostics covers the latest equipment and techniques used to locate problems. This is a valuable resource to those preparing for ASE Certification Test A6, Electrical/Electronic Systems.

  • The text correlates to the Electrical/Electronic Systems section of the 2017 ASE Education Foundation Task List.
  • A full chapter on on-board diagnostics details OBD II systems and emphasizes the use of scan tools to help pinpoint computer system problems.
  • Two full chapters on hybrid drive systems cover the basic principles of operation, diagnosis, and repair.
