Strand(s): Theory and Foundation, Skills
and Processes
Overall Expectations
TFV.02 - analyse and
describe a variety of system modifications and their effect on the
interrelationship of vehicle systems;
TFV.03 - identify
the commonalities of systems in land, air, and marine vehicles;
SPV.05 - demonstrate
a working knowledge of fundamental mathematics and the scientific principles
required to service, repair, and modify vehicles.
Specific
Expectations
TF2.01 - analyse and
describe possible modifications to each of the following systems that are
common to vehicles designed for the land, sea or air: the chassis, frame and
body system; the engine system; the cooling system; the fuel system; the
electrical/electronics system; the gear and power train system; the steering
system; the brake system; the suspension system;
TF2.02 - explain the
effects of modifications to any of a vehicle’s components on the vehicle’s
other systems;
SP4.01 - use
mathematics to calculate electrical, mechanical, and fluid power;
SP4.02 - apply
scientific principles when determining states of matter and mechanical
advantage, and when working with advanced electrical theory within the context
of transportation technology.
·
Basic
understanding of electrical circuitry as well as an understanding of the three
tenants of electricity: Current, Voltage, and Resistance.
·
Awareness of
basic hand tool safety in a transportation lab.
·
Ability to use
test lights and multi-meters appropriately.
·
Awareness of the
concerns regarding electrical safety.
·
Students should
have access to a variety of late model sensors, actuators, and electronic
control modules. Used or recalled sensors of this type can usually be acquired
from an automotive recycler, donation vehicle, or local dealership for little
or no cost. The instructor must tag each component with the following
information: part name, year, model, type of vehicle, and type/model of engine.
This allows students to accurately obtain manufacturer’s specifications from
the appropriate shop manual.
·
Ideally the
students should have access to a complete vehicle (or least a functioning drive
train) to remove, test, and replace components. This allows the students to
monitor the sensors and their effect on the system when they receive reference
voltages and operate normally.
·
The use of an
analog meter on modern fuel injected vehicles should be prohibited as it can
damage the vehicle’s computer system. Therefore, the students must have access
to Meters (DVOM). As these are sensitive instruments, students must receive
instruction on their use, care, and maintenance.
·
When testing a
vehicle’s electronic fuel injection system, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can
cause damage to some of the vehicle’s more fragile components. To eliminate the
risk of ESD damage to the vehicle’s computer a grounding wrist strap should be
worn. Wrist straps are available at a minimal cost from most automotive supply
stores.
·
A modern
automotive textbook or software tutorials containing a detailed section on
electronic engine control can be provided to assist students in understanding
the theoretical aspects of this activity.
·
To ensure that
students are fully aware of all safety features on each piece of equipment in
the technical facility prior to using it independently, the required safety
instruction and performance is tracked using the Safety Passport (Appendix A –
Safety Passport).
·
The teacher and
students discuss the theory and operation of electronic engine control and fuel
metering systems. Students review the correct method for using a DVOM to test
for Current, Voltage and Resistance as well as the care and maintenance of a
DVOM. Students complete independent reading assignments from available text or
computer-based resources.
·
Students work in
small groups to practise using the DVOM and to understand its various
functions.
·
The teacher
demonstrates the correct use of a wrist strap or other means of neutralizing
the dangers and effects of ESD and discusses the damage that can be caused by
analog meters.
·
The teacher
introduces base engine sensors (a list of base engine sensors can be found in
Appendix 1.1.1 – Base Engine Sensors) and students compare resistance readings
to manufacturers’ specifications using a DVOM.
·
Using the
information found on a tag attached to each sensor, the students consult a shop
manual to identify the component specifications and testing procedure. The
students use a DVOM to measure the resistance of the sensor and the voltage
going into and out of the sensor (if it is still attached to a complete fuel
injection system). Students note any discrepancies between the actual readings
and reading found in the specifications portion of the manual.
·
Students complete
diagnosis of several sensors and record their findings in their notes
(see Appendix 1.1.3 – Electronic Engine Control).

In this activity the
students retrieve trouble codes utilizing the vehicle’s computer-equipped
self-diagnosis capability. Students also use a hand-held diagnostic scanner to
acquire codes and data streams on on-board data diagnosis-equipped (OBD I and
OBD II) vehicles. Students research the trouble codes using industry standard
texts and computer programs and complete a trouble tree to diagnose the
specific faulty system.
Strand(s): Theory and Foundation, Skills
and Processes
Overall Expectations
TFV.01 - apply the
design process to develop solutions, products, processes, or services in
response to challenges or problems related to vehicles or vehicle systems;
SPV.02 - consult
appropriate reference materials when servicing and repairing systems.
Specific
Expectations
TF1.02 - apply the
following steps of the design process to solve a variety of transportation
technology challenges or problems, including problems involving lubrication,
cooling, electrical/electronic, fuel intake and exhaust, emission control,
suspension and steering, brake and structural vehicle systems:
· identify what has to be accomplished (the problem);
· gather and record information, and establish a plan of procedures;
· brainstorm a list of as many solutions as possible;
· identify the resources required for each suggested solution and compare each solution to the design criteria, refining and modifying it as required;
· evaluate the solutions (e.g., by testing, modelling and documenting results) and choose the best one;
· produce presentation and working drawings, sketches, graphics, mathematical and physical models, or a prototype of the best solution;
· evaluate the prototype and determine the resources, including computer applications, required to produce it;
· communicate the solution using one or more of the following: final drawings, graphs, charts, sketches, technical reports, electronic presentations, flow charts, mock-ups, models, prototypes and so on;
· obtain feedback on the final solution and repeat the design process if necessary to refine or improve the solution;
SP3.01 - communicate project ideas effectively using scale drawings and
sketches;
SP3.05 - consult
appropriate repair manuals for procedures, schematics and specifications, and
apply them in the repair, service, and modification of vehicle components and
systems;
SP3.06 - develop and
present effective verbal and written reports on service and repair methods,
using technical language appropriately.
·
Knowledge of
electrical circuitry and the possible damage caused by electro static discharge
(ESD)
·
Safe and
competent use of basic hand tools from the prerequisite course
·
Students who wish
to read vehicle trouble codes must have access to a fully functioning OBD 1
chassis or complete vehicle. Vehicles that have been donated to the program are
preferred due to the potential risk of damage to on-board control systems.
·
The instructor
may create fault codes within one of the systems, e.g., fuel injection system. Faults
can be created in a variety of ways depending upon the type of system that is
used by the particular vehicle, e.g., fuel metering control system. Most faults
can be created by causing an open or ground in wiring, disconnecting a vacuum
line or running the vehicle with a sensor disconnected. The teacher should
first check a wiring schematic to find how a fault can be created without
permanently damaging the vehicle.
·
Students who wish
to read codes on vehicles built from 1995 and later (OBD II) must use a scanner
to read codes because no manual code-reading process exists. Though many
expensive automotive scanners are available, less complex and inexpensive
models are also available at many auto parts suppliers. These can also read
trouble codes on most pre-1995 “On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) Generation One”
electronic fuel injected vehicles.
·
The teacher must
also provide students with an example of a “Trouble Tree” and teach the
students how to read them and eventually use them as a diagnostic tool. This can
be accomplished by handing out several examples of trouble trees obtained from
shop manuals.
·
A modern
automotive textbook that has a detailed chapter on electronic engine control
can be provided to deliver background and supplement to the practical and theory
position of this activity.
·
The teacher and
students discuss the fundamentals of electronic fuel injection and the
capability of modern electronic fuel injection systems for self-diagnosis. A
discussion on how the system works as well as why the computer has a
self-diagnostic capability is addressed.
·
An initial lesson
on electronic engine control self-diagnosis is necessary to prepare students
for the practical aspects of the activity. The teacher demonstrates accessing
trouble codes with and without a scanner.
·
The students
manually read the teacher-generated codes within the vehicle computer (Appendix
1.2.1 – Obtaining Codes Manually). Students note which codes are present at
this time.
·
Students refer to
the appropriate shop manual and research a detailed explanation of the problem
to find a diagnostic procedure to correct the displayed fault code (Appendix
1.2.2 – Electronic Engine Control Worksheet 2).
·
Students repeat
this process researching an array of different codes on different vehicles.
·
When students
have mastered the manual code retrieval process, they use a scan tool to access
codes. With teacher assistance, the students hook up an automotive scanner to
an operating vehicle and complete the code-reading process. Students note the
trouble codes that are present in this vehicle and refer to the appropriate
shop manual for the required diagnostic procedure.
·
Students design a
computer-generated trouble tree from the information that they have obtained
from the shop manual (Teacher should provide samples of trouble tree charts).
This trouble tree is used to accurately diagnose the teacher-created fault that
has occurred in the system. The chart is then submitted for marking.
·
The teacher marks
and corrects students’ trouble tree charts and returns them to the students for
use in Activity 1.3 – System Service.

Energizing
Self-Diagnosis Without the Use of a Scanner
All three
major domestic auto manufacturers have self-energizing capabilities in the fuel
injection systems of their OBD I automobiles. This enables the instructor and
students to access trouble codes without the use of a scanner.
These procedures
are:
General Motors Trouble
Codes:
1. Locate diagnostic connector. It is usually
located underneath the fuse panel or behind the glove box.
2. Use a jumper wire or paper clip to cross
connections designated to start self-diagnosis (usually A and B terminals).
3. Watch the “Service Engine Soon” or “Check
Engine” light flash in a Morse code fashion. One flash, a pause and then three
flashes would indicate Code Thirteen.
4. Refer to trouble code chart in service manual
for detailed explanation of fault.
5. Test circuit and compare to manufacturer’s
specifications.
Daimler Chrysler Trouble Codes
1. Though Chrysler does provide a diagnostic
connector in the engine compartment of OBD I controlled vehicles, it is
normally not needed unless a hand held scanner is available.
2. To access trouble codes, turn the key on and
off three times within five seconds – Turn the key on, then off, then on, then
off and then leave the key on.
3. As with General Motors trouble codes, count
the number of times the service engine soon light flashes. One flash and then
three flashes would indicate Trouble Code Thirteen.
4. Refer to trouble code chart in service manual
for detailed explanation of fault.
5. Test circuit and compare to manufacturer’s
specifications.
Ford Trouble Codes:
1. Locate diagnostic connector. It can usually
be found attached to the firewall, fender or near the engine intake manifold.
2. Connect an analog or needle type VOM to the
designated terminals in the diagnostic connector.
3. Connect a jumper wire to between the designated
terminal in the connector and the pigtail that is found near the connector.
4. Count the number of needle movements and
record and read them in the same fashion as a flashing Service Engine Soon
light in a Chrysler or General Motors vehicle.
5. Refer to trouble code chart in service manual
for detailed explanation of fault.
6. Test circuit and compare to manufacturers’
specifications.

If the technical
shop/classroom does not have the ventilation required for soldering, students
must be provided with face masks to wear when soldering.
·
Students observe
a demonstration on the proper techniques for repairing a wiring fault, as well
as the replacement of a base engine sensor. The teacher and students discuss
the steps for properly repairing a wiring fault. The teacher emphasizes the
safety aspects of this procedure.
·
Using scrap
lengths of wire and soldering or crimping tools, students perform proper
repairing techniques. Students must be instructed to avoid breathing the fumes
created while soldering. Students use a DVOM to ensure that there is minimal
resistance in the repair that has been performed. Students shrink-wrap their
repair to ensure that rust and corrosion does not occur.
·
Students use the
teacher-corrected trouble tree that they designed in Activity 1.2 System
Diagnostics as well as a scanner, test light, and DVOM to repair the
teacher-created fault in the Electronic Engine Control system. The faults that
students encounter range from broken or disconnected wires, faulty sensors or
actuators, grounded wires and disconnected vacuum lines.
·
With approval of
the instructor, students repair the system using manufacturers’
recommendations, under teacher supervision. Once the repair has been checked
for resistance, the battery is reconnected and vehicle is tested and checked
for further trouble-codes.
