The best-selling book/shop manual package in our landmark Today's Technician series, the third edition of Automotive Electricity and Electronics continues to equip its readers with the most in-depth discussion of basic theory, safety, tools, and major automotive electrical/electronic systems (e.g., charging, starting, ignition, lighting, accessories, instruments, and computers) available anywhere! In response to user feedback, we've added more information about voltage, current, and resistance in order to aid readers who are new to this area of study in visualizing electrical/electronic principles at work. We've also increased our emphasis on developing the future technician's ability to use manufacturers' service information, given more prominence to diagnostic methods in the discussion of troubleshooting, and updated our coverage of testing equipment and OBD II. Perhaps most importantly, we've added many all-new examples to guide readers, step-by-step, to complete mastery of all of the electrical/electronic knowledge plus hands-on diagnostic and troubleshooting skills they need to become highly skilled automotive technicians.
Helpful cross-references between theory discussed in the book and step-by-step procedures outlined in the shop manual are also included for optimal learning effectiveness.

Theory, diagnostics, and service procedures for automotive fuel and emission systems are spotlighted in this newest Classroom and Shop Manual set to join the popular Today's Technician Series. Experienced author Barry Hollembeak enhances the reader's understanding of present-day automotive fuels and emission systems by covering the theories and procedures that underpin ASE high priority skills. The Classroom Manual builds upon facts and theories, while the Shop Manual, through performance-based objectives, helps readers acquire diagnostic and repair competency. Both manuals are tightly correlated with corresponding chapters and cross-references so that readers can make a sound connection between theoretical concepts and practical skills.
This comprehensive, two-volume package provides users with a solid overview of clutches, transmissions, transaxles, drive axles, differentials, and four-wheel drive systems. The updated fourth edition features the latest technological developments, including dual clutch systems, various limited-slip differential designs, six speed transmissions, constantly variable transmissions, and self-shifting manual transmissions. With a sharp focus on current technologies and the inclusion of outstanding learning features, this new edition provides an excellent classroom resource for students preparing to become future technicians!
