ABSTRACT

The average car now contains much more electronic circuitry than would have been the case, even five years ago. This leaves many technicians struggling to keep up with current developments in the repair and maintenance of these electronic systems. Often, texts covering vehicle electronics dwell on unnecessary maths and general electronics principles. This practical guide discusses electronics ony within the context of the vehicle system under consideration and thus keeps theory to a minimum.

Using numerous diagrams, photographs and step by step instructions, this book gives a clear description of vehicle electronic systems and fault diagnosos and than continues on to the testing and repair of these systems. Regular reviews and summaries help consolidate learning and make this book ideal for workshop and classroom use.
