Today's Technician: Automotive Electricity and Electronics, Classroom and Shop Manual Pack, 8th Edition
Overview
Ideal for aspiring and active automotive professionals, TODAY'S TECHNICIAN: AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRICITY & ELECTRONICS, Eighth Edition, equips readers to confidently understand, diagnose and repair electrical and electronic systems in today's automobiles. Using a unique two-volume approach to optimize learning in both the classroom and the auto shop, the first volume (Classroom Manual) covers the theory and application of electricity, electronics and circuitry in modern automobiles, while the second (Shop Manual) covers real-world symptoms, diagnostics and repair information. Known for its comprehensive coverage, accurate and up-to-date technical information and hundreds of detailed, full-color illustrations and photographs, the text is an ideal resource to prepare for success as an automotive technician or pursue ASE certification. Now updated with extensive information on new and emerging technology and techniques--including telematic systems, LED and adaptive lighting, hybrid and electric vehicles, stop/start technology, Wi-Fi connectivity, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and other modern accessory systems--the Eighth Edition also aligns with the ASE Education Foundation 2022 accreditation model and includes job sheets correlated to all MLR, AST and MAST tasks.
- The Eighth Edition features extensive updates reflecting new and emerging technology and service techniques, including material on electrical and electronic controlled systems, telematic systems, LED and adaptive lighting systems, advanced vehicle safety systems and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems.
- Content in both volumes now aligns with ASE Education Foundation’s 2022 Automobile Program Standards for Electrical and Electronic Systems, and updated job sheets provide full coverage of MLR, AST and MAST tasks.
- The text, photos, and illustrations in the Eighth Edition have been updated throughout to highlight the latest developments in automotive technology, providing useful and current real-world references to help readers apply what they learn in a modern repair setting.
- Hybrid vehicle information is integrated wherever it is most relevant throughout the text. For example, coverage of HEV batteries and ultra-capacitors appears in the batteries chapter; the chapter on starting systems and motor design includes AC motor principles and operation of the integrated starter/generator; and the chapter on charging systems discusses the HEV charging system, regenerative braking and the DC/DC converter.
- This comprehensive, versatile text is ideal for both classroom and hands-on learning, with a dedicated Classroom Manual covering theory and application of electricity and electronics in an automotive systems context, and a separate Shop Manual focused on real-world service, diagnosis and repair procedures.
- The text includes a full ASE practice exam, providing ideal preparation for students and professionals alike interested in pursuing ASE certification, as well as a reliable, up-to-date reference for today's technicians.
- Detailed information on increasingly common technology--such as telematic systems, advanced lighting systems, advanced vehicle safety systems, hybrid and electric vehicles and accessory systems--prepares readers for a seamless and successful transition from the classroom to the professional repair shop.
- A full chapter on shop safety highlights safe work habits to reinforce the importance of consistent safety practices and familiarize readers with standards and procedures they are likely to encounter in today's service and repair operations.
- Review questions and job sheets help readers review chapter material, assess and apply their understanding of key concepts and procedures and identify any areas that need additional reinforcement.
