Automotive Electronic Diagnostics (Course-1)

With the ever increasing electronic content in today's vehicles, the need to be able to read automotive wiring diagrams is as important as knowing how to use the different equipments needed to perform diagnostic work. Reading wiring diagrams requires a bit of knowledge of electricity and experience. By knowing the laws and rules that govern electron flow, you can become very proficient at this endeavor. Feel free to play the DVD accompanying this book and referring back to so that you can absorb all the information. Good luck and enjoy.
