DENSO Sales California announces the introduction of three new Engine Performance Technical Training seminars for the automotive service professional. The seminars focus on service, diagnostic and repair best practices and will be available beginning in 2011.

1. Advanced Electrical Systems Diagnostics (AES)

This course is designed to provide technicians with a solid basis for diagnosing and repairing the various complex accessory and safety systems on today’s domestic and Asian vehicles. Several case studies help attendees learn from specific problems that have been experienced and successfully resolved. The course includes: Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS), Various Theft Deterrent and Security Systems (SKIS, PATS, PASS-Key & PASS-Lock and Immobilizer), Steering Systems & Electric Power Steering, ABS & Traction Control Systems, SRS Occupant Detection, and Power Window Module relearning.

2. Network Systems Diagnostics (NSD)

This course is designed to provide technicians with a solid basis for diagnosing and repairing various complex network and programming/reprogramming issues encountered on today’s domestic and import vehicles. Several case studies help attendees learn from specific problems that have been experienced and successfully resolved. The course includes: Network Purpose, Construction, and diagnostics [Controller Area Network (CAN), Media-Oriented Systems Transport (MOST)], and various OEM and J-2534 programming options.

3. Advanced Oscilloscope Diagnostics (AOD)

This course is designed to provide technicians with a solid basis for diagnosing and repairing various complex electrical and drivability issues encountered on today’s domestic and import vehicles using the various types of lab scopes and scan tools that they have available. Several case studies help attendees learn from specific problems that have been experienced and successfully resolved. The course includes comparing positive and negative-side patterns, current ramping, identifying shorted or open Commutator Segments, brush bounce, AC, DC, and artificial DC, patterns, and much more.

Taught by professional trainers and not sales people, these eight-hour classroom-style seminars focus on “best practices” concerning service, diagnostic and repair. Special tips to help increase first-time repair success and reduce diagnostic time are shared throughout the training. These seminars are offered by local parts distributors and are held on-site throughout the U.S. and Canada giving the parts distributor an opportunity to strengthen relationships with the professional technicians who buy their parts.

“DENSO’s goal is to become a trusted partner with our customers and service professionals,” said David Shushereba, senior manager, Engineering and Technical Services departments. “We are excited to offer these three new courses in addition to the 16 we currently offer. All of these courses have received outstanding reviews from the technicians who have taken them”.
