Building transmissions and gear drive systems is at the heart of what ZF does, and throughout its history, ZF has been at the forefront of pushing transmission technology forward. With these technological and engineering advancements, staying up to date on the latest diagnostic and overhaul procedures is critical.

During this training, participants can expect to learn procedures that will aid them with not only understanding how ZF 6HP and 8HP transmissions operate, but with diagnosing and repairing these transmissions in a real-world environment. Additionally, this training gives participants the chance to apply the knowledge that they have gained in the classroom setting to a ZF transmission, under the guidance of a ZF Technical Trainer.

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

• List internal components of the 6HP and 8HP transmissions

• 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 and 8HP transmissions

• Explain an oil change service procedure

• Analyze transmission adaptation values

• Explain adaptation values to assist in the diagnostic procedure

• Identify the most common failures of the ZF 6HP and 8HP transmissions

• Identify the torque flow of all gears

• Review the disassembly and assembly process of the 6HP and 8HP transmissions

• Review the disassembly and assembly process of ZF mechatronics

Remember the days when steering wheels were twice the size of what they are now? Have you looked under a car recently and wondered why there seems to be more control arms than you’re used to or noticed that the steering rack is electro-mechanical now? That rack could have been missing the hydraulic pump since 2012. There also may be a few more computers involved.    

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.    

What makes this class important for a technician is the ability 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.    

This is the vehicle social network. And technicians will recognize the connection as the chassis system, suspension system, electronic parking brakes, and even the importance of friction formulas are explained and linked.    

After completing this training, participants will be able to: 

• Classify speed dependent steering 

• Describe 4-wheel steer 

• Explain Electric drive 

• Explain function of electro-steering systems 

• Describe common failures related to the electric steering system 

• Understand how to read data from scanner to identify a failure

On a mechatronic for the simple fact they haven’t been introduced to the unit in a way that provides them the foundation to perform the needed work.    

In this class, technicians will gain an understanding of the unit, learn the ‘musts’ they need to be aware of to not ruin the unit, and most importantly become comfortable with opening and closing the unit to perform a proper diagnosis.    

This is a virtual class, but hands-on, as the technical trainer completely opens the unit and shows all the wear components. After this class, technicians will have the knowledge needed to consider adding level one mechatronic repair to the shop offerings.  

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

•  List internal components of the Mechatronic 

• Differentiate between different types of mechatronics 

• Understand common failures

•Describe differences between pressure regulators and solenoids 

• Explain proper removal of the mechatronic

• Review the disassembly and assembly process of the mechatronic

The training class focus on the advanced diagnosis of an AC system using the relation between pressure and temperature. This enables the technician to make a much more accurate and precise diagnosis of the issues on hand with the AC system. As swell as making the technician able to optimize the performance of the AC system. To fully understand the AC system and to benefit from the improved and enhanced component development a thorough run through of the individual components as well as the development in technology. The enhanced features does offer a more sophisticated and precise heat transfer in the AC system. To diagnose the AC system correctly a variety of specialty tools are available in the market. These can be used to determine the quality of the refrigerant, ECV valve performance (Compressor), cleaning the AC system (which methods works, and which are questionable), Leak Detection, is there only one way to do so?

With the vast majority of Electric and Hybrid vehicles having Heat-Pumps instead of normal AC systems there are also a higher risk of making a diagnostic mistake. This is due to the higher complexity of the design of the Heat-Pump system. Therefore, the processes/ best practices that are implemented in servicing a R134a or R1234yf must be in place to make a proper diagnostical assessment of a Heat-Pump system. The temperature-pressure relation must be in place to monitor the system correctly. With this training class you will be fully prepared for the upcoming Heat-Pump training class which will aim at Expert technicians.
