Automotive Instructors : Inductive Pick-Up Use : Vehicle Voltage

Whether you teach high school, tech school, college, or in the field, the information I have available for you

can help you teach your students about: Voltage Drop, Shared Current Paths, Meter Use, Probe Placement,

How To Do Voltage Drop Testing and How To Test on today's vehicles.

Being retired has allowed me to spend a lot of time developing this material. What I have created can really

help you in the classroom!

This is what I have available for the classroom instructor:

New Book:

"The “Hands On” Vehicle Testing Reference"

Published 2011 / Author: Joe Glassford

578pages

A guide for the professional vehicle technician as well as the interested DIY. Over 800 photos and illustrations show "How To" test: batteries, computer/modules and sensors, continuity, current paths, connections, switch contacts, fuses, fusible links, circuit breakers, generators (alternators), relays, starters, shared current paths (the vehicle base system), engine compression, cylinder leak, fuel, fuel pumps, fuel injectors, as well as miscellaneous tests from "<Thursday, December 22, 2011 3:29 PM "Bookman Old Style";mso-fareast-font-family:+mn-ea;mso-bidi-font-family:+mn-cs; color:black;mso-color-index:1;mso-font-kerning:12.0pt;language:en-US; font-weight:bold;font-style:italic'>How To" use a mechanic’s stethoscope to six different ways to check for a blown head gasket. Detailed information about the DVOM - digital-volt-ohmmeter and where and "How To" place the meter probes to do effective troubleshooting is included as well as amp draw testing with a DVOM and "How To" correctly read and use the inductive pick-up.

This book was designed as an illustrated “hands on ready reference”. Its purpose is to save you time by giving you illustrated clear examples of the tests, while informing and helping you understand each test as you do them; and above all, to help you improve your electrical, electronic, as well as some mechanical troubleshooting skills. Each test can be quickly located and used at the vehicle with the “Quick Index” that begins on page 4.

The book clearly explains voltage drop and how to find its root cause. Whether you work on gasoline or diesel autos or trucks, motorcycles, snowmobiles, or all terrain engines, you will find this book helpful in honing and improving your troubleshooting skills.

I encourage you to look over the index below. I know you will be glad you added this ready reference to your tool box.

I think you will find my CDs very useful in your teaching.

Also available for classroom use:

"Vehicle Voltage Drop Testing" : written for classroom use.

What you can learn from my book:

What voltage drop is and what causes it.

How engineering uses "engineered voltage drops".

Why resistance and voltage drop are the major “trouble” in troubleshooting.

The limitations of the voltmeter and the ohmmeter.

How to do effective voltage drop testing.

Why good “continuity” never means “able to pass current”.

Cautions about open circuit voltage testing and continuity testing.

How shared voltage feed and ground return current paths affect troubleshooting.

Why resistance that is large enough to cause a problem in a circuit is an elusive value.

How to test your meter to see if it can provide you with accurate results.

Learn why it is smart troubleshooting to do complete shared current path base system

tests on every vehicle exhibiting drive ability symptoms that cannot be pinpointed with

scan testing and code retrieval. See why individual circuit testing should never be performed

until after all base-system testing has been completed, and all excessive voltage drops in the

base system have been reduced to an acceptable standard.

This book takes the mystery out of voltage drop.

Your students will learn how to improve their troubleshooting.
