ASEP 219 - GM ASEP Engine Performance III PREREQUISITES: ASEP 209 GM ASEP Engine Performance II CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3 LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2 LAB HOURS MIN: 2 TOTAL CONTACT HOURS MIN: 64
In this third course of a three-course sequence, students advance their study of internal combustion engine operation-covering both gasoline direct injection and diesel injection-on modern GM passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks. Emphasis is placed on advanced diagnosis, service, and repair of engine performance systems, including the electronic control module’s input sensors, output actuators, and emission-control strategies. Students practice the safe use of precision measuring instruments and GM-specific tools and service information to troubleshoot, service, and repair complex engine management systems. Throughout the course, students complete required modules in GM’s Center of Learning (service technician online training) and finish the sequence by taking the ASE A8 Engine Performance certification exam.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Diagnose and repair ignition system faults.
- Diagnose and repair fuel system faults.
- Diagnose and repair emission system faults.
- Demonstrate knowledge of 5-gas analysis.
- Utilize technical service bulletins (TSB) for problem solving.
- Demonstrate the usage of parameters required to set a DTC.
- Record and analyze sensor and actuator signals.
- Demonstrate the usage of simulated signals for diagnosis and testing of sensors and actuators.
- Demonstrate knowledge of strategy based diagnostic procedures.
