Jasper Engines & Transmissions offers five diagnostic clinics scheduled to be held in a number of cities throughout the nation: Strategies for Gas Engine Diagnostics, Strategies for Transmission Diagnostics and Strategies for Diesel Diagnostics. Advanced Diagnostics and Allison Transmission clinics have also been added to the schedule.
The Strategies for Gas Engine Diagnostics clinic offers hands-on training using a live running vehicle. This is not a basic clinic. You will be applying fast, sure, state-of-the-art methods to pinpoint problems before they become a failure. This clinic is designed for shops that want to reduce diagnostic time and that want the latest time saving tips. The clinic will provide quick strategies to avoid failures and techniques to verify bad components with basic tools.
Like the Gas Engine Diagnostics clinic, the Strategies for Transmission Diagnostics program offers hands-on training using a live running vehicle. This clinic is designed for shops that install automatic transmissions, shops that want to reduce diagnostic time and shops that want the latest time-saving tips. Topics covered in the Transmission clinic include:
• Overview of electronic control systems
• Operating strategies for Ford, GM and Chrysler
• Using a scan tool and Tran-X for fast solutions
The Strategies for Diesel Diagnostics, like the other clinics, is focused on diagnostic solutions. The program will provide facts and solutions for issues that are causing repeat or premature failures. While not a hands-on clinic, the program will cover such areas as:
• An overview of diesel engines
• Operating strategies for Ford, GM and Chrysler
• Trouble shooting techniques
Those that will want to attend this clinic include shops that currently install gas engines and want to move into diesel installations, those that want to reduce diagnostic time and those that want the latest time-saving techniques.
The Advanced Diagnostics clinic is a great class for the Tech that wants to learn the basic concept of lab scoping. Each Student will receive a training book and materials. Topics covered in the Advanced Diagnostics clinic include:
• Discussion and demonstration of basic lab scope functions
• Example of how lab scopes can find real problems that will not show codes
• Discussion and illustration of input sensors that manipulate engines and transmissions
• How to perform ampere testing
• How to operate a lab scope with hands-on exercise
• Examples of good waveforms in comparison to live data
The Allison Transmission Clinic will focus on the 1000/2000/3000/4000 Series. Students will receive their own book and materials. Topics covered in the Allison Transmission clinic include:
• Discussion and illustration of common questions and failures for each transmission
• Discussion pertaining to updates for each transmission
• TSB handouts for each transmission discussed
• DTC handouts for all Allison transmissions
• Discussion and illustration of the importance of transmission coolers, fluid types and oil change intervals
• Opportunity to perform Solenoid testing with the TransX 2000
Because of the personal attention provided in these clinics, the class size is limited to 10 participants.
The cost per diagnostic clinic is $129.00 per person. Participants will receive take home materials that will recap the information covered in the clinics for future reference.
