SSF PRO, in partnership with AC Training Academy, is proud to present our Industry’s first comprehensive and accredited Automotive High Voltage Certification Training Program.

This exclusive program is certified by Europe’s oldest and foremost Automotive Professional Body, The Institute of the Motor Industry, delivered by Senior Instructors trained and certified under European Regulation ECE-R100 as well as ASE.

Limited to 12-Students per course to ensure personal attention and in-depth training, this program combines 3 in-depth webinars plus 2.5 days of in-person hands-on instruction using custom-built simulators and equipment as well as actual electric vehicles. This course culminates with both a theoretical and practical exam where upon successful completion students will be officially registered with the IMI and can proceed directly to take ASE high voltage certification with no additional preparation.

ZF 6HP Transmission Diagnostics and Overhaul

LOCATION: TBD

TIME: 8:00AM - 5:00PM 

***Attendees may not be accepted if course reaches capacity. Refunds will be issued for courses that are canceled due to low enrollment. (Travel reimbursements are excluded)

When it was originally released, the ZF 6HP marked the next generation of transmission technology and was a major step ahead in transmission design and engineering over previous transmissions.  As transmission technology continues to evolve, as it did in the case of the ZF 6HP, the diagnostic process must also evolve. During this in-depth training, diagnostic procedures will be covered that will take the guesswork out of the diagnostic and repair process and will add valuable skills that translate well to repair facilities. During this in-depth hands on training the participant will completely disassembled and assemble a ZF 6HP transmission.

After completing this training, the participant will be able to:

• List internal components of the 6HP transmission       
• Describe differences between pressure regulators and solenoids       
• Identify the different characteristics of pressure regulators       
• Differentiate between mechatronic types       
• Explain the shifting strategy of the ZF 6HP       
• Explain an oil change service procedure       
• Analyze transmission adaptation values       
• Use adaptation values to assist in the diagnostic procedure        
• List internal components of the 6HP transmission        
• Describe differences between pressure regulators and solenoids        
• Identify the different characteristics of pressure regulators         Explain proper disassembly/Assembly process        
• Explain common internal failures        
• Analyze common internal failures

ZF 8HP Transmission Diagnostics and Overhaul

LOCATION: TBD 

TIME: 8:00AM -5:00PM

***Attendees may not be accepted if course reaches capacity. Refunds will be issued for courses that are canceled due to low enrollment. (Travel reimbursements are excluded)

As more and more vehicle manufacturers choose ZF for their transmissions, shops can benefit and even potentially add simple services to their offerings by understanding the basics of the ZF 8HP transmission and how to diagnose common problems encountered in the repair shop and complaints from customers.  This in-depth class will take a deep dive into the function of the ZF 8HP transmission, and the best overhaul practices. The class will feature a classroom session, then participants will have the opportunity to practice what they have learned on a ZF 8HP transmission under the supervision of a ZF technical trainer.

After completing this training, the participant will be able to: 

• List internal components
• Explain the torque flow through the gears
• Describe the shift strategy
• Identify common failures
• Explain the oil change procedure
• Explain how to properly check the oil level
• Identify the differences between pressure regulators and solenoids
• Analyze transmission adaptation values and relearn procedures
• Review the disassembly and assembly process of the transmission
• Identify special tools needed for the disassembly and assembly process
