Description

For courses in Automotive Electrical Systems and Electronics, Engine Performance and Tune-Ups, and Emissions Testing.

 

Comprehensive yet easy-to-read, this book includes both automotive electrical as well as engine performance topics all in one book. It is NATEF- and ASE-correlated and presents principles and practices of diagnosis and troubleshooting of automotive electrical, electronic, and computer systems in a clear, concise format and at a level of detail that far exceeds most similar texts.


Features

Hallmark Features:

·        One book format: Both Theory and Diagnosis and Service are together in the one book format.

·        Correlated to the NATEF task list: The textbook and workbook page numbers are listed in the NATEF correlation guides to make learning and teaching easier.

·        Correlated to ASE Certification areas, helping students who are preparing for their certification exam.

·        Real World examples and Tech Tips: Help student’s associate theory and practical concepts into real everyday situations.

·        Instructors CD: Contains Power Point Presentation, Video Clips, Image Bank and Completed Crossword puzzles.

·        Instructors Manual: Contains Sample Syllabus, NATEF Task List, Chapter Outline, Answers to chapter questions, and Transparency Masters.

·        ASE Test Prep Bundle Option: Each Halderman/Birch title can be bundled with a corresponding ASE Test Prep Guide for $10.00

·        Work-text/Job Sheet Bundle Option: NATEF Correlated Work-texts containing “Job Sheet Task List’s” is available for $10 with any Prentice Hall Automotive text.


New To This Edition

New to this Edition This edition is thoroughly updated, including:

 

·        All content is correlated to 100% of the ASE and NATEF tasks for the Automotive Electricity/Electronic Systems (A6) content area.

·        Expanded coverage of starting and charging systems, including overrunning alternators pulleys (OAP), overrunning alternator dampeners (OAD), computer- controlled starting, and AGM batteries.

·        Expanded coverage on the use of wiring schematics for troubleshooting.

·        New content added, including: auto dimming mirrors, adaptive front lighting systems (AFS), rain-sense wipers, OnStar, satellite radios, Bluetooth, HomeLink garage door openers, backup cameras, lane departure warning systems, backup sensors, navigation and GPS, night vision, head-up display, electronic throttle control, network communications, emission control solutions and testing, scan tools, and hybrid vehicle fundamentals and safety procedures.

·        Many new photographs and line drawings help students understand the content material and bring the subject alive.

·        Many new photo sequences help explain service procedures.

·        Each technical topic is discussed in one place or chapter. Unlike other textbooks, this book is written so that the theory, construction, diagnosis, and service of a particular component or system is presented in one location. There is no need to search through the entire book for other references to the same topic.
