Electronic Diesel Control 1

The course will provide the technician with the knowledge of diesel fuel and electronic circuits required to understand and repair these systems. At the end of this course the technician should be able to demonstrate knowledge of how these systems work and how to use oscilloscopes and meters for the performance of a correct diagnostic.
