Modern Automotive Technology details the construction, operation, diagnosis, service, and repair of late-model automobiles and light trucks. This comprehensive text uses a building-block approach that starts with the fundamental principles of system operation and progresses gradually to complex diagnostic and service procedures. Short sentences, concise definitions, and thousands of color illustrations help students learn quickly and easily. The text provides thorough coverage of the latest developments on the automotive field, including OBD II diagnostics, enhanced emissions testing, misfire monitoring, air bag systems, anti-lock brakes, and security systems. Organized around the eight ASE automobile test areas, this text is a valuable resource for students preparing for a career in automotive technology, as well as experienced technicians who are preparing for the ASE Certification/Rectification Tests. The Instructor's PowerPoint Presentations for Modern Automotive Technology is a valuable lecture supplement that visually presents the key concepts for each chapter of Modern Automotive Technology. Unlike presentations consisting only of text information in outline form, this instructional aid includes literally thousands of illustrations, representing well over half the visual content of the textbook. The extensive use of illustrations not only reinforces the key concepts presented in outline form, it also enlivens the presentation to capture and retain student interest. The PowerPoint presentation slides can be shown on a large screen with a video projector, displayed on networked computers within a classroom, viewed on individual workstations, or printed and distributed in handoutform. The program includes the PowerPoint Viewer utility, which permits display of the Instructor's PowerPoint Presentations for Modern Automotive Technology without the need for PowerPoint presentation graphics software.
