Cover important automotive topics in a student-friendly format:

• Present topics in short, easy-to-read chapters. The content is broken into small, manageable segments. It features twice as many chapters as competitive texts so that a topic or an entire short chapter can be assigned and taught instead of assigning individual page numbers or questions.

• NEW! Streamlined content makes reading easier and enhances comprehension.

• Explain how to diagnose faults. In addition to explaining how a system works, most chapters include diagnostic procedures and the steps needed to troubleshoot faults.

• Demonstrate how automotive systems are connected. The theory, construction, diagnosis, and service of a particular component or system are presented together, in one location. All of the information that students need to understand a topic is included when it is presented, so there is no need to search through the book for other references to the same topic.

• Deliver the most up-to-date standards content. All content in the book has been updated and correlated to the latest NATEF tasks and ASE areas.

Bring the subject to life and facilitate learning:

• Engaging art programs support today’s visual learner:

• Visualise concepts with full-colour photos and line drawings. Photos and line drawings complement the text. The photos show the actual parts involved so that the student can view a good or defective part. The line drawings allow the reader to see what is inside a component and how it works.

• NEW! Over 65 new or greatly enhanced full-colour line drawings and photos have been added to help bring the subject to life.

• Break a task down using step-by-step photos. Step-by-step photo sequences detail the steps involved in performing a specific task or service procedure.

• Make reading, studying, and content mastery easier. Every chapter includes bulleted and numbered lists to summarise concepts or the steps in a procedure, while the design for main and sub-headings makes it easier to grasp the scope of the chapter. Finally, each chapter ends with a Summary, Review Questions, and a Quiz. 

• Help students prepare for their professional career:

• Prepare for the ASE Certification exam. The textbook and workbook page numbers are listed in the NATEF correlation guides to make learning and teaching easier.

• Provide learning goals based on NATEF tasks. Each chapter opens with a list of Learning Objectives based on specific NATEF tasks.

Illustrate important concepts using real-world examples:

• Offer the perspective of a technician and automotive instructor. The author delivers the point-of-view of a technician and automotive instructor rather than an engineer, technical writer, or salesperson.

• NEW! Case studies have been added to many chapters and all include the “Three Cs” (Concern, Cause, and Correction).

• Present real situations. Real World
