Overview
The Electrical Problem Solving course is designed to guide the technician through a step-by-step process to learn to analyze an electrical circuit, draw a schematic diagram of the main components, determine the best test points, estimate the values that a working circuit should exhibit at those test points and determine whether the circuit is good up to the test point. By repeating parts of this procedure, any circuit can be correctly diagnosed. Students in this class practice troubleshooting real circuits on a test board, at first using the voltmeter mode of their DMM and then switching to the ohmmeter mode for circuits made up of electrical harnesses. Once the students are comfortable with the techniques and rules of diagnostics, they practice using Freightliner LLC software to obtain and use schematics and wiring harness drawings. Using the skills they just learned, the students then find the electrical "bugs" that the instructor has installed in the Freightliner LLC vehicles at the training center.
