| MNT-2010-4VC / Proper Maintenance of Gasoline Fueled Vehicles | 240 | One of the most misconceived ideas of modern vehicles is that they are maintenance free. Although modern vehicles, in some cases, may require much less frequent routine maintenance than older vehicles, they are far from maintenance free. As automotive technology continues to advance, some maintenance services previously required with earlier technology may be eliminated or reduced, however in many cases, maintenance becomes more critical for these advanced systems. Topics in this class include: • Fluid condition inspection and testing • Maintenance intervals • Service practices • Accessory drive systems • Cooling system hardware • Filtration inspection and service • Carbon issues | ILT Course | Virtual Classroom |
| ASE-A2 / A2 - Automatic Transmission Transaxle | 60 | The purpose of the A2 ASE pre-test training is to focus on the part of the A2 that has the highest failure rate: Diagnostics. Instructor Wayne Colonna will cover fundamentals of the torque converter and planetary gear train operation, as well as understanding component application charts, and ending with knowing the difference between a solenoid performance failure and a solenoid electrical failure. A comprehensive understanding of these subjects will enable the technician to determine the proper diagnostic routine regardless of the type of transmission being diagnosed. ASE exams are generic so they can apply to any vehicle. A variety of transmissions are covered in video, focusing on principals of operation and diagnostics that would apply to any style computer controlled automatic transmission. Topics covered include: Torque Converters Planetary Systems One-way clutch device Engine Braking Friction/Band Elements Various Shift Strategies Performance Codes Solenoid Electrical Codes The book also contains: Illustrations, diagrams, charts, DTC descriptions, transmission gear ratio charts, detailed solenoid diagrams, valve body diagrams, accumulator diagrams, pressure tap locations and “integral cooler” information, line pressure specs, case passage identification with “integral cooler” and “remote cooler,” and much more! Runtime: 75 minutes On the current task list, the following sections have quiz questions for you to test your knowledge on the subject matter. To fully understand this concept and obtain training coverage, please refer to the Study Guide.

| CHS-3200-4VC / CHS: Alignment Best Practices | 240 | The primary goal of each wheel alignment service is to give our customers a safe and reliable vehicle that performs as designed every time. In this class a review of the alignment angles will be covered. This review is focused on what’s important about angles and why we need to check them during every alignment. We will introduce a concept that will help balance the angles in the right relationship, ensuring performance that meets OE standards. The best practice alignment centers around the customer’s expectations. The customer expects their vehicle to receive a complete alignment, and to be made aware of any underlying concerns that may need to be addressed to return their vehicle to proper alignment. The process that is covered in this class is very thorough and insures that the customer receives the technician’s best efforts. As a technician, this practice will be appreciated as it is designed to avoid as many comebacks as possible. It begins with the pre-alignment preliminary inspection of the components, the vehicles driving tendencies and alignment angles. When these angles are not within the preferred specification, an adjustment or solution will be necessary. “Getting it in the green” or “setting the toe and letting it go” are not good enough, as we will discuss in this class. | ILT Course | Virtual Classroom |

| EET-5000-8VC / Effective Electrical Troubleshooting: Stop-Start Technologies | 480 | Many vehicles are now being engineered with Stop-Start technology. Implementing automated stop-start technology in today’s vehicles is a cost-effective way to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions without affecting consumer acceptance. A Stop-Start system operates by cutting off the engine when the vehicle comes to a complete standstill, and automatically re-starts the engine when the driver releases the brake pedal. This operating strategy is often utilized in full hybrid-electric vehicles that have powerful electric systems, but is becoming more popular in non-hybrid vehicles that use traditional starter/battery configurations. We will cover manufactures using stop-start technology, dual battery and robust starter motor technologies, common components found on each system, diagnostic evaluation and repair methods and review important best service practices to handle working on vehicle's equipped with Stop-Start systems. | ILT Course | Virtual Classroom |

This series as a whole does not focus on any one scan tool platform, as our clients own and use many variations of scan tools. We will present scan tool concepts using many of the common scan tool platforms including both multi-line (aftermarket) and manufacturer-specific tools. In Module 1, Practical Application and Analysis, we will: • Introduce a focused, efficient diagnostic routine. • Apply the diagnostic routine to scan tool testing. • Describe how scan tool technology has developed and where it is going. • Explore computer inputs and outputs then compare and contrast what is displayed on a scan tool. • Provide examples of functionality from 10+ scan tool platforms • Using service information to understand the data used to monitor specific vehicle systems, as well as information that may be available through the scan tool. • Cover changes in how Global services work, what has been added and how to use the information to find solutions more efficiently. | ILT Course | Virtual Classroom |
| EET-5010-4VC / EET: Domestic Charging Systems and Power Management | 240 | Are you replacing the alternator unnecessarily? When faced with an illuminated BAT, GEN or ALT light that’s on what do we do on a late model vehicle equipped with a computer controlled charging system?

| LS-20 / Lubrication & Filtration Technologies: The Difficult Truth | 60 | ARCHIVED LIVESTREAM - Conventional, Synthetic Blends, Full Synthetic, High Mileage... No matter where you buy it, it pays to understand the most basic ingredient of the most important service we provide. Oil and Filter service is sometimes delayed or even ignored by consumers is now being threatened. OEM’s continuously modify oil formulas with almost every new model year and engineers are constantly improving ways to control deposits, limit oxidation and corrosion, and increase normal oil-change intervals and fuel economy. Today’s vehicles are using full synthetic proprietary formulas that are designed specifically for that OEM. The engine oils we have come to know and the brands we have all used and trusted have changed dramatically over the years. One oil you have trusted for decades may not be able to effectively provide the proper protection today’s engines require, which could lead to a denial of warranty. I know a technician is misinformed when he says “I don’t use 0W-20 because it’s too thin, I use 5W-30 in all my customers cars!” Seek the truth and get the FACTS about engine oils in this seminar. A multi-grade oil 0W-30, 10W-30 or a straight grade 30 have the same thickness at 212°F. The difference is at 40°F, in the morning when you go to start the engine. | OLT Course | AVI Video Courses |

If the vehicle is returned to within specs without replacing the bent steering knuckle, it may drive okay in a straight line, but produce handling and tire wear issues when cornering. This class explores the more advanced alignment measurements such as vehicle symmetry, steering axis inclination, scrub radius and much more. Throughout this class the technician will gain understanding of many possible underlying issues that result from collision or vehicle alterations, as well as the solutions that are available when adjustments are not provided from the factory.
