Diagnosing and Resolving Automotive Electrical Issues and Their Impact on Transmission Operation Learn more Diagnosing and Resolving Automotive Electrical Issues and Their Impact on Transmission Operation Speaker(s): Jimmy Taylor and Drake Ohe Session Description: Can a weak battery or a faulty spark plug cause transmission slipping or poor shifting? Find out as ATRA’s Jimmy Taylor and Drake Ohe take you on a deep diagnostic journey into electrical and engine-related issues that can mimic transmission failures. This class will cover drivability concerns, engine-related fault codes, and electrical issues that can mislead your diagnosis. You’ll also learn how to distinguish between true transmission problems and external factors affecting its operation. Expect lively discussions and real-world case studies that will sharpen your diagnostic skills and help you avoid costly misdiagnoses.

The Automatic Transmission R&R Boot Camp Learn more The Automatic Transmission R&R Boot Camp Speaker(s): Aaron Golas Session Description: This course focuses on diagnosing and troubleshooting automatic transmission issues. It covers the entire process, from vehicle intake with a transmission problem to replacing the transmission and test driving the vehicle. Developed by Master ASE Certified Technicians, the course teaches essential skills for working with modern transmissions, including: Identifying drivability issues that may seem like internal failures and how to address them. Effective diagnostic testing techniques. Recommended tools for efficiency. Creating a routine for flawless installation. Strategies for the smooth operation of modern automatic transmissions. Setting clear expectations with vehicle owners for long transmission life. Special focus on 6, 8, and 10-speed domestic transmissions. Understanding aftermarket improvements. Performing a gold-standard test drive and shift adaptation.

Logical Diagnostic Decisions for Drivability Dilemmas Learn more Logical Diagnostic Decisions for Drivability Dilemmas Speaker(s): Eric Ziegler Session Description: This is a critical thinking or logical approach class to address many of the issues that face techs every day; working on systems that are new to them or that they have little or no experience diagnosing. The course is a mix of critical thinking, theory, diagnostic testing methods, tooling and real-world case studies addressing mechanical testing, fuel trim diagnostics, ignition testing and network communication issues. We will also discuss graphing scan data, archiving data and other useful diagnostic software. There are lots of real-world case studies will be used to illustrate these processes and techniques. You will see how you can diagnose each type of problem with basic and high-tech tools. Learn how to structure your diagnostic process, see what your results should be, and where to go next. We will also examine the “Flatrater” test drive and how to gather information quickly and efficiently.

ZF Transmission Diagnostics Learn more ZF Transmission Diagnostics Speaker(s): Francisco Moreno and Brain Bay Session Description: This training session will cover all ZF transmission diagnostics including, 6HP, 8HP, 9HP and the latest ZF Gen IV. As transmission technology continues to evolve, as it did in the case of the ZF 6HP, the diagnostic process must also evolve. During this in-depth training, diagnostic procedures will be covered that will take the guesswork out of the diagnostic and repair process, and will add valuable skills that translate well to repair facilities. Explain the diagnostic procedure for the ZF 8HP,6HP, 9HP Analyze transmission adaptation values Identify the different characteristics of pressure regulators Explain adaptation values to assist in the diagnostic procedure List most common failures of the ZF transmission Product Format: Synced Video Media Type: Streamable Media Format Description: Audio Synced with Speaker Slides as MP4 Video A precise capture of how the session transpired.
