Summary
Summary
Comprehensive, yet easy-to-read, this book includes both automotive electrical as well as engine performance topics all in one book. It presents principles and practices of diagnosis and troubleshooting of automotive electrical, electronic, and computer systems in a clear, concise format and at a level of detail that far exceeds most similar books. This book no longer comes with a CD-ROM. An interactive, multi-media program at www.pearsoned.com/autostudent , brings to life the sights and sounds of the "whys" and "hows" of all phases of diagnosis and troubleshooting. Focused on automotive electrical as well as engine performance topics, this book presents principles and practices of diagnosis and troubleshooting of automotive electrical, electronic, and computer systems, as well as service information and environmental concerns. Includes updated coverage on OBD 11, evaporative emissions and fuel injection plus scope testing of components, Gel and AGM batteries, as well as the latest coil-on-plug, waste spark, compression sensing and ion sensing ignition systems.
Author Notes
James D. Halderman is the author of a large number of books, mainly college-level textbooks featuring information on automotive systems and other engineering services. In the textbook Automotive Brake Systems, Halderman discusses the purpose, function, operation and diagnosis of automotive braking systems including ABS. Some of Halderman's other textbooks include: Automotive Chassis Systems, which covers all under-vehicle components, operations, diagnosis's, and services; Automotive Electrical and Electronics Systems, featuring numerous troubleshooting techniques that can be used in the classroom or for reference; and Engines--Theory and Servicing, a complete orientation to automotive engines and engine repair topics.
Halderman earned his Bachelor of Science degree in education from Ohio Northern University in 1968, and has worked as Professor of Engineering Technologies at Sinclair Community College.
