The 2003 edition ofAutomotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Serviceis organized around the eight ASE automobile test areas and is correlated to the NATEF Task List. Terminology throughout the text reflects the SAE J1930 standard. ASE and NATEF Correlated This comprehensive textbook is divided into sections that correspond to the eight areas of certification as specified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) and the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF). The areas of the ASE material certification test are listed in the objectives at the beginning of each chapter, and all laboratory worksheets are correlated to the NATEF Task List. Diagnostic Approach The primary focus of this textbook is to satisfy the need for problem diagnosis. Time and time again, the author has heard that technicians need more training in diagnostic procedures and skill development. To meet this need and to help illustrate how real problems are solved, diagnostic stories are included throughout. Each new topic covers the parts involved plus their purpose, function, and operation, as well as how to test and diagnose each system. Multimedia System Approach The multimedia CD-ROM that accompanies and supplements the textbook is informative and also makes learning more fun for the student. The CD includes: Live action videos and animation to help students understand complex systems. A glossary of automotive terms. Sample ASE test questions with immediate correct answer feedback. Sample worksheets. ASE content list for each of the eight ASE areas. NATEF Task Lists for all eight ASE areas. Internet (World Wide Web) Approach Included with the book is a coupon that entitles the owner tofreeaccess to an ASE test preparation Website for an extended time period. Now you can practice and take the ASE certification tests with confidence. Included at this Website are ASE-type questions for each of the eight ASE automotive areas plus sample questions for advanced level engine performance (L1). There are over 2,000 total questions. The questions are presented 10 at a time, then graded (marked). The correct answer is then given as you scroll back through the questions. This feature allows students to study at their own pace. Worktext Approach A separate worktext accompanies the book. Each worktext page is correlated to the NATEF Task List. The worksheets included in the worktext help instructors and students apply the material presented to everyday-type activities and typical service and testing procedures. The worksheets show typical results and a listing of what could be defective if the test results are not within the acceptable range. These sheets help build diagnostic and testing skills. Chapter Components Each chapter opens with a list of learningobjectivesincluding the ASE content area covered by the chapter. These objectives identify the topics covered and goals to be achieved in the chapter. Most chapters containtech tips, diagnostic stories, frequently asked questions, high-performance tips,andsafety tips. All chapters contain asummaryat the end that highlights the material covered in the chapter. Review questions(discussion-type questions) are offered at the end of each chapter. Each chapter containsASE certification-type questions. Type Styles Used in This Text Various type styles are used throughout this text to emphasize words, identify important terms, and highlight figure references.Italic typeis used to emphasize words and terms. For example, the wordnotis often printed in italic type when it is important that an operation be avoided. New terms appear inbold typeat first usage.
