The Automotive Fault Finding trainer builds essential diagnostic skills through practical, hands-on fault-finding exercises using real automotive components. Students learn systematic troubleshooting procedures across four comprehensive projects that cover the most common diagnostic scenarios in vehicle electrical systems. The trainer teaches proper measurement techniques for voltage, current, resistance, and capacitance—the fundamental electrical values needed for circuit diagnosis. Students practice testing individual components, including switches, bulbs, batteries, diodes, LED bulbs, resistors, potentiometers, thermistors, and relays, developing the ability to determine if components are functioning correctly or have failed. The curriculum specifically addresses open circuit faults (breaks in wiring or connections) and short circuit faults (unwanted current paths), teaching students to identify these common problems using systematic diagnostic approaches. By working through structured fault-finding projects, students develop the critical thinking and logical troubleshooting skills that separate effective automotive technicians from parts replacers.
