The evolution of engine design in recent decades has ushered in a new age of maintenance — one that privileges the electronic over the mechanical. Modern engines come with exciting new capabilities, as well as their own unique problems. If anything can be said definitively about modern engine maintenance, it would be: Stick to manufacturer recommendations! That’s where Car Engine diagnosis rides over the traditional methods where mechanics would rely on outward signs, engine sounds, and other baseless indicators. CAR ENGINE DIAGNOSIS is a SUPERIOR APPROACH in resolving a retinue of engine problems since it gives one skills in pinpointing trouble areas, their genesis and the likely effects on other engine parts as well as the whole engine health.
Product Description
Basic Auto Electrics, Electronics & Diagnostics Skills
One has got to go an extra mile to become a potent automotive electrician. It is even more demanding when we consider the ever computer-dependent that more and more cars are churned into our roads everyday by factories that have invested heavily in computerized production. The electrical technician of today has no place in fixing most of the cars that are on the roads today.
This course consists of THREE units namely:
Unit 1: Introduction to Basic Electronics
Unit 2: Scantool Diagnostics & CAN (Controller Area Network) Bus
Unit 3: Engine Component Diagnostics
Each of the units costs 25K (USD 250) and takes 1 Week to complete. The full course takes 3 weeks and costs USD 600. It is advisable to take up all the units if one is novice (beginner). Those already with qualifications and skills may skip the basics upon being preliminary examined for their experience.
Venue: Kenvision Techniks Workshops, Kahawa Sukari
Fee: USD 600(full course fee) /or USD 250 per unit

Unit 2: Scantool Diagnostics & CAN Bus
KES 25K/ 250 USD Per Unit
All technicians would benefit from this course, basic trained mechanics will gain the knowledge and insight required to work on modern cars, understanding limitations of equipment types will build confidence to correctly diagnose complex problems on today’s cars.
Technicians who wish to be brought up to date on how to diagnose faults on modern vehicles.
People who need to know how the system works, to facilitate other areas of work they may need the knowledge.
- Timeline on introduction of computerization and vehicle networks
- Electric fundamentals
- Understanding Fault Codes and how they are generated
- Why you do not always get Fault Codes but have problems on the vehicle
- Sensors and Actuators, what role they play.
- How data is passed around a vehicle.
- Understand the difference between Live Data and Graphing
- CAN BUS explained
- Why we need and use CAN BUS systems
Are there master and slave modules on the CAN Bus?
The nature of CAN bus communications allows all modules to transmit and receive data on the bus. Any module can transmit data, which all the rest of the modules receive permitting both peer-to-peer and broadcast data transmissions.
In CANopen, the CAN bus normally includes one module acting as a network master which starts the bus communications, but a dedicated master module is not needed. In J1939, the master and slave concept is not used.

Unit 3: Engine Component Diagnostics
Fee: USD 600 (full course fee) /or USD 250 per unit
This course is orientated to use oscilloscope with other test equipment. In particular the oscilloscope helps give a good understanding of sensors, actuators and how they operate.
Fundamentals of electronic ignition, electronic control systems, electronic fuel injection and idle speed control; with oscilloscope use as a diagnostic aid. With waveform interpretation and understanding made easy.
TARGET GROUP
- All technicians would benefit from attending this course but it is specifically aimed at technicians who understand the basic principles of electricity and want to improve their diagnostic skills.
- Anyone who has finally realized that owning a Scan-tool is only halfway there. For people who want to fix the car rather than just find out what is wrong with it.
- Fundamentals on electronic controls used, focusing on electronic architecture and interaction between sensors and actuators.
- Background to purpose of Euro 3, Euro 4, Euro 5 and what to expect with Euro 6. Block exemption rulings and roll-out of standardized parts.
- Detailed coverage of Electronic Fuel Injection both Petrol and Diesel.

- Air metering devices including vacuum sensors (MAP), hot wire (air mass meter),
- Karmen Vortex type air flow and vane type air flow meters.
- Temperature sensors
- Oxygen sensors (Lambda/O2)
- Knock sensors16
- Throttle position sensors (Potentiometers)
- Engine speed sensors (Crankshaft)
- Crank/Cam position sensor (Cam sensor)
- ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNITS (ECU)
