With the electronification of the chassis, understanding of the OE design across multiple systems has become even more important in daily shop repairs. This class presents the correlation between those systems and electro-mechanical parts.  ADAS, electronic shock, Smart chassis, electronic steering are all new terms that shops need to be aware of and be able to properly diagnose. 4-wheel steer, another new but old term that is not introduced in the market once again. With the same basics started in our webinar class. ZF offers a more in depth and focused look into these topics during our hands-on training seminar.  The goal of this training is for a technician to leave with an understanding of how these changes influence the design of parts and knowledge of fault codes to properly diagnose daily needed repairs.

Time: 8 hours

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

•          Describe common failures related to the electric steering system        
• Explain correlation between fault codes       
•   Describe collaboration between steering and transmission issues        
• List proper equipment for alignment and diagnostics      
•    Describe Smart Chassis      
•    Identify different driver assist functions and their operations        
• Understand active steering systems

Today people just want to put the car in drive, and it goes. Most customers do not know what is making that vehicle move just that it does. Weather driven by automatic, manual automatic, CVT or the like, they just want it to work. Technician on the other hand know all too well what it takes to do just that. Then there is the tried-and-true manual transmission making a comeback in the market. With this being the case how is a technician to know where to start to properly diagnose and repair all these different types of issues. Well, ZF has you covered. We will spend the day covering just that. Be it a refresher of older systems or covering the latest technology to drivetrains. This is the class for you.
