As any automotive technician
understands, the world of car
technology is now fully computerized.
This series provides
a basic working knowledge of
automotive computer systems and the ins
and outs of OBD-II diagnostics. Students
will absorb lessons in computer system
operation, trouble codes, scan tools, and
repair procedures. Ford, GM, Chrysler, and
other makes are discussed, while hybrid
engine technology is also addressed.
Videos can stand alone or as a series for
both beginning automotive students and
more advanced classes. Correlates to all
National CTE Organizational Standards
(including the provisions of the Perkins
Act). Viewable/printable instructor’s
guides are available online. A Shopware

Automotive Computer System Operation
With helpful live-action footage and 3-D computer
animation, this program shows students
how to analyze scan-tool data retrieved from
OBD II vehicles. Topics covered include: the
concept of cybernetics, or how computerized
monitoring systems are modeled on the
human senses; active and passive sensors; the
role of computers in antilock brake, suspension
control, climate control, hybrid drive,
and other functions; and details on actuators
of all types, including solenoid, servo motor,
relay, and dash display.

Computer On-Board Diagnostics
Almost all new vehicles have on-board
diagnostic capabilities, so it is critical for technicians-in-training
to be well-grounded in the
technology. This video explains the general
operation and many of the fi ne points of onboard
diagnostic systems. With an overview
of the evolution of OBD technology, the program
illustrates the different systems within a
car—brakes, electrical, steering, etc.—that an
OBD-II system monitors and troubleshoots.
Viewers will receive valuable instruction in
diagnostic trouble codes, high input failure,
low input failure, types of sensors, and using
a digital thermometer to verify specifi c codes.
Dealing with older vehicles and reverting to
low-tech methods are also explored.

Automotive Computer System Service
The word “mechanic” doesn’t apply to automotive
service any longer—“technician” is
more accurate. This program shows students
how to use a scan-tool to diagnose car system
problems, covering the following specifi c topics:
pinpoint tests; active sensor service for
oxygen, magnetic, knock, and light or solar
sensors; passive sensor service for temperature,
throttle position, pressure, and fl ow
sensors; sensor replacement; actuator service;
and computer service, including an overview
of downloading software directly into a car’s
computer to update systems.

Scanning Automotive Computer Problems
In recent years, the scan tool has become the
most important piece of equipment for any
automotive service technician. This program
provides a helpful overview in the proper use
of the OBD-II scan tool. Covering various
types of scan tools, from the basic to the
advanced, the program illustrates a typical
scan tool interface and its digitally displayed
options, as well as the many types of codes—
including hard, soft, and manufacturer—it
produces. Viewers will learn how the tool
works in different modes, such as functional
test, road test, troubleshooter, and more.
Locating a vehicle’s diagnostic connector is
explained. Special tips highlight looking for
stored trouble codes, addressing the lowed
codes fi rst, and keeping the car’s battery
charged.
