The Modern Starting and Charging Systems learning system (720-02) from LJ Create is an introduction to starting and charging systems found in modern vehicles. Students investigate conventional and advanced systems while building their understanding of the components, circuits, sensors, actuators, and electronic signals involved in vehicle operation.
This automotive board-learning system also introduces students to CAN Bus communication and automatic stop-start systems. Using an onboard vehicle mimic, accessible ECU pinouts, and diagnostic equipment, students can perform system measurements, analyze CAN signals, and diagnose eight different starting and charging faults.
Features
- Conventional and advanced systems allow students to compare starting and charging technologies.
- Automatic stop-start system introduces modern fuel-saving vehicle controls.
- High-speed CAN Data Bus provides practical network measurement experience.
- Starting and charging sensors and actuators demonstrate system inputs and outputs.
- Accessible ECU pinouts support electrical and signal measurements.
- Eight CAN system faults build structured diagnostic skills.
