COURSE DESCRIPTION:

After completing this workshop, you will be able to use OEM (Kia) diagnostic thought process to identify the correct sequence of steps to follow when diagnosing, and repairing today’s vehicles. This training workshop is not all inclusive to Kia vehicles but versatile to all makes and models. Throughout this workshop you will be building electrical circuits, adding and subtracting resistance faults, testing & performing Voltage Drops, finding Shorts and Opens with a Fault Finder, using Ohms Law and practicing in the shop with live vehicles.

This workshop will enable you to diagnose and repair electrical systems or component problems faster and more effectively. Upon completion you are required to successfully pass a 25 question quiz to receive course credit.
