Car Electrical & Electronic Systems is a unique handbook that assumes
no starting knowledge of car electrical and electronics systems. It
begins with simple circuits and finishes with complex electronic systems
that include engine management, transmission control and stability
control systems.
If you want to diagnose a simple alternator charging or headlight
problem, this book is for you. But if you also want to fix complex
electronic systems using On-Board Diagnostics, a multimeter or
oscilloscope, this book also shows you how to do that.
- Is it best to use a series or parallel circuit when adding a horn?
- How do you use a multimeter to check a coolant temperature sensor
against its specs?
- How can you add an electronic timer that will keep your headlights on
as you walk to your door?
- When should you buy an oscilloscope - and how complex an instrument do
you really need?
The author has been writing about car electronic systems for over 25
years. He is also an experienced and proficient car modifier who has
performed numerous electronic modifications and upgrades to his own
cars, including world-first modifications. If you want a practical,
hands-on book that demystifies and explains car electrical and
electronic systems, Car Electrical & Electronic Systems is the book
for you.
