Designed for hands-on automotive technology and CTE programs, the Gasoline Engine (CAN and Climate Control) Trainer (760-02) from LJ Create combines a complete working gasoline engine with an engine management system incorporating CAN Bus control technology. A fully functional climate control system expands the trainer’s capabilities, giving instructors a comprehensive platform for group or whole-class automotive demonstrations and practical training.
The engine incorporates Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) technology and includes the systems responsible for controlling air-fuel ratio, ignition timing, and exhaust emissions. Students can investigate the ECU and associated sensors and actuators, then progress into practical diagnostics using specialist workshop test equipment and insertable fault conditions.
Features
- Complete working gasoline engine provides authentic automotive systems training.
- CAN Bus engine management introduces modern vehicle communication and control.
- Ti-VCT technology demonstrates variable camshaft timing used to optimize engine operation.
- Fully functional climate control system expands instruction into automotive HVAC.
- Integrated sensors and actuators demonstrate ECU inputs, outputs, and system control.
- Fuel injection and emissions systems support modern engine performance and emissions instruction.
- Insertable fault conditions provide practical automotive diagnostic exercises.
