The Car is an Electronic System
 All car systems are computerized electronic systems.

 Each of them is based on ECU (Electronic Control Unit), sensors and actuators.

 For example, the engine ECU uses the information from the sensors and controls the
actuators to:

 Ensure proper fuel injection and

ignition timing.
 Provide additional functions, such
as reporting engine status to the
Sensors Actuators
instrument cluster.
 Handle diagnostic tests.
Instrument cluster

 The ECU’s are connected in Controller Area Network (CAN BUS).

 This is just the beginning.

 In autonomous car, a computer makes the driving decisions according to radar

sensors and cameras.

The Car Fault Troubleshooting

 The faults in the car are more electronics faults than mechanical faults.
 Mechanical malfunctions are easy to troubleshoot and to repair.
 The wiring is more complex and many faults are wire faults.
 Even when the scanner reports on a fault diagnosis, it is still required to locate whether
the fault is in the component, in the wire or in the connector.

Automotive electronics study envelope

The EB-3000, the AT-3000, the AT-5000 and the AT-6000 create an electronics study
envelope for the automotive mechanics study.

The automotive mechanics study covers the car sub-systems demonstrators, real
automotive parts recognition, assembly and disassembly car systems, maintenance, etc.

 Basic electronics
Basic electronics topics including automotive electronics topics are
needed to understand the modern car technology.
The electronics universal training system EB-3000 and experiment
cards cover this stage.
 Car sub-system simulators
The AT-3000 simulators demonstrate the behavior and signals of
car systems and they are the best tool for the teacher to explain
the electronics behind the systems.
The simulator simulates various operations of the system, typical
faults that cannot be demonstrated with a real system.
 Automotive mechanics
The AT-4000 demonstrators demonstrate real car sub-systems
installed on a metal training bench with facilities and accessories
that enable to operate it exactly as in the car.
The demonstrator's metal panel is with graphics clearly presenting
the system components and schematics.
The values and signals measured on the panel test points are real
values of the system.
This stage includes also real automotive parts recognition, assembly and disassembly
car systems, maintenance, etc.
 Car diagnostic and troubleshooting methods
The AT-5000 series are advanced simulators to practice
diagnosing faults and troubleshooting methods.
Practice using AT-5000 allows the student to deal with complex
systems and enhances the capability to deal with future vehicle
systems.
 Troubleshooting faults in a real car
Fault insertion in a real vehicle is the summary step of the
automotive study.
The faults are inserted by a special interface controlled by
courseware - AT-6000.
The system can be adapted to any type of vehicle that supports the OBDII protocol.
There are three levels of automotive study programs:
 Maintenance and light repair
