As vehicles have evolved over the years, creating a demand for better measurement and control of various systems, the number of sensors and actuators significantly increased, reaching the hundreds nowadays.
The participants are taught to test all sensors and actuators in the vehicle using a variety of measurement devices. Participants are familiarised with their physical operating principles and the processes that take place in the vehicle when the sensors and actuators are not working properly.
Seminar goals:
- The participants are capable of making the right diagnostics regardless of the diagnostic device.
- The participants can quickly and easily inspect the sensors and actuators and safely reach a conclusion on their functioning.
