The Automotive Training Group has released the 2013 GM Engine Performance 7‐hour course and training manual. Like all ATG products, this new GM Engine Performance class covers all of the newest GM technology, but emphasizes evolving failure patterns on older systems as well. With our tips and intuitive tests, you can quickly differentiate between electronic and mechanical issues plaguing the GM models most likely to come into your shop. Misfire, fuel trim, valve seat issues, cam timing faults and cylinder‐kill system failures can all cause similar symptoms and codes. This seminar helps you make a better ‘first pass’ to look for clues that create the shortest diagnostic path. We’ve been refining these ‘beat the flowchart’ methods for years, so you’ll find something you can use right away.

Other topics include:

• Camshaft Timing Systems

• Drive‐By‐Wire & Displacement On Demand

• Fuel Trim, Rear Fuel Trim & O2 Sensors

• Ignition Systems

• Position Signals & Relationships

• Direct Injection & Conventional Fuel Delivery

• All Emissions Systems

Alternator Testing For No Charge Conditions

Many alternator problems turn out to be nothing more than a bad connection at the alternator or a bad wiring harness.

If only battery voltage is present at the battery on a running engine, does this mean the alternator is “bad?” No, it does not. It only means that the alternator is not charging, but does not reveal why. Therefore, it does not point to a faulty alternator. All too often, the alternator is condemned by technicians due to this test alone. The cause could instead be a module that distributes the power to the vehicle and regulates the alternator.
