TRCK 234 - Advanced Diesel Emissions Controls


PREREQUISITES/COREQUISITE: TRCK 219 - Diesel Engine Performance I 

PROGRAM: Automotive Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Spring, 2019

This course covers advanced concepts in diesel engine emission control systems. New and future federal emission standards will be covered along with the subsystems required to meet these standards. Emphasis will be placed on the diagnosis and repair of computerized system controls, injection systems, and emission components including EGR, DPF, and SCR systems.

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:

  1. Demonstrate proper shop safety practices while in the labs and around high-pressure fuel lines. (a)
  2. Identify tools used in Diesel Engine Emission service. (b)
  3. Diagnosis, testing, and repair of fuel systems. (a,b,c,e,f)
  4. Diagnosis, testing, and repair of EGR, DPF, and SCR emission systems. (a,b,c,e,f,g,h,i)
  5. Proper use of diagnostic scan tools to pull codes and inspect sensor values. (c,e,f,g,h,i)
  6. Diagnosis, testing, and repair of computer sensors, wiring, and actuators. (c,e,f,g,h,i)
  7. Service common rail injector fuel systems. (a,b,c,e,f,g,h,i)
