Audience: This technical laboratory experience is designed for automotive in-service trainers, I/M administrators, I/M referee staff, National train-the-trainer staff, repair technicians and centralized contractor personnel. (maximum class size of 20)
This structured 1 1/2 day laboratory experience will allow the students to perform dynamic vehicle emissions testing in a controlled laboratory setting. Students will get an appreciation for the complexity of transient and acceleration simulation mode (ASM) testing. This course will explore test-to-test variability amoung different vehicle technology groups. Students will also explore different repair confirmation techniques/paths through the use of repair grade (R/G) dynamometer equipment and in-flight 5 gas analyzers.
Student Prerequisites: Students should have at a minimum:
1. an understanding of the I/M 240 test procedures and testing
equipment;
2. limited driveability diagnostic experience; and,
3. a basic understanding of on-board computer system controls.
