CAN Bus Training For Automotive Technicians blog image

This course is designed for automotive service and repair professionals who need to understand, diagnose, and repair networked control systems. Specifically, it applies to those working with embedded CAN Bus control systems found in:

  • Agricultural machinery
  • Heavy commercial vehicles
  • Light vehicles
  • Mobile plant machinery

Foundational understanding of automotive electrical principles is highly recommended.

COURSE DETAILS

This course is essential for Technicians working on modern vehicles and machinery that heavily rely on (CAN Bus) networked control systems. This course covers diagnosing and repairing of faults in these systems, which require specialised skills. Automotive technicians must understand CAN Bus and LIN Bus networks to ensure reliable communication between vehicle components like engine control units, infotainment systems, and safety features.

By taking this course, technicians will:

  • Gain practical hands-on experience in diagnosing and repairing network faults.
  • Learn to use diagnostic tools effectively, like scan tools and oscilloscopes.
  • Understand real-world failure scenarios and how to troubleshoot them efficiently.

With networked systems controlling everything from engine performance to climate control, mastering fault diagnosis and repair is critical for technicians in the automotive service industry.

This course is ideal for:

  • Light Vehicle Technicians
  • Heavy Vehicle Technicians
  • Mobile Plant Technicians
  • Agricultural Technicians

Participants should be working in the automotive industry and have an understanding of CAN bus technology.

COURSE OUTLINE
  • Identification of common CAN Bus components in late-model light vehicles.
  • Gain an understanding of the operation and purpose of various CAN Bus systems.
  • Explore the interdependencies between CAN Bus and LIN Bus systems.
COURSE BENEFITS
  • Understanding how and why the systems communicate.
  • Reduce the risk of post-repair system failure through understanding the system.
  • Build confidence in discussing CAN Bus-related repairs with colleagues and customers.
  • Improve repair accuracy and reduce liability.
PREREQUISITES

Participants should be working in the automotive industry and have a good understanding of CAN Bus diagnostics and vehicle technology.
