BEP 231 AGCO Adv Electronic Calib Diag

Students will utilize "on-board" diagnostic systems as well as hand-held equipment and laptop computers programmed with EDT software to diagnose DTC information from tractors and harvesting equipment. Proficiency with technical data, DVOM operation and component location and identification will be fundamental aspects of the course. Common theories and operational principles learned in previous courses relating to electrical and electronic components, their testing and circuit diagnostics, will be revisited. Examples of these components would be potentiometers, hall-effect switches, thermistors, variable resistance sensors and relays. Students will develop their electrical/electronic diagnostic abilities by completing multiple activities designed to hone their critical thinking skills. This course is an active diagnostic lab course.
