Designed for teaching hands-on automotive technology skills, the Automotive Electrics Panel Trainer (753-01) from LJ Create gives students practical experience investigating and fault-finding typical automotive electrical systems. Built with accessible test points, students can work with vehicle electrical components while developing an understanding of overall system layouts, configurations, and circuit operation.
Students progress from fundamental vehicle wiring and electrical components into batteries, fuses, starting circuits, relays, lighting systems, circuit diagrams, and troubleshooting. Built-in fault-insertion options simulate typical real-world system malfunctions, helping students develop systematic automotive electrical diagnostic skills in a controlled learning environment.
Features
- Automotive electrical system simulation introduces common vehicle circuits and components.
- Accessible test points support hands-on electrical measurement and circuit investigation.
- Starting system components introduce batteries, fuses, starters, and solenoids.
- Relay-controlled circuits provide practical experience with automotive horns and relays.
- Multiple lighting circuits cover exterior, signaling, and interior vehicle lighting.
- Circuit diagram activities connect automotive schematics with physical electrical systems.
- Fault insertion creates repeatable short-circuit, component, and electrical troubleshooting exercises.

Curriculum & Program Integration
This automotive trainer aligns with LJ Create’s AutoLab, which combines hands-on training systems with digital curriculum and instructional resources. Schools can use the trainer as a standalone learning system, integrate it into an existing automotive course, select individual LJ Create courses to supplement their curriculum, or implement the complete AutoLab program.
The curriculum for this learning system includes:
- Hands-on training experiments and activities
- Interactive online curriculum and instructional resources
- Teacher support materials and guided learning content
This flexible approach allows instructors to incorporate individual learning systems and curriculum where they fit best or build a more comprehensive automotive technology program.
LJ Create’s Cloud-Based Software
The trainer can also be used with LJ Create’s optional cloud-based software, which extends hands-on learning with interactive theory presentations, practical tasks, investigations, and assessments. Digital content connects directly to activities performed on the training equipment, helping instructors blend online instruction with practical automotive skill development.
