This workshop is designed for technicians who already have a solid electrical foundation and are looking to understand today’s vehicles complex body electrical systems. Covered within this workshop will be multiplex network communications and network system diagnostics. We will look at network toplogy for various body electrical systems and discuss how system modules and components interact with one another. Communication ‘gateways’ and module diagnostics will be discussed. This course will take a deep dive into several BCM (body control module) controlled systems and will discuss diagnostic strategies using the scan tool, DMM’s and lab scopes to pinpoint test and located problems. This workshop includes hands-on bay activities supporting the aforementioned topics. After completing this workshop, the student will have the knowledge to: Understand body control system operation strategies Diagnose and test many different vehicle body control systems (lighting, doors, security, etc.) Employ scan tool usage in conjunction with electrical circuit tests using a DMM or lab scope Analyze and test various networks on the vehicle Replace and program (set up) a Body Control module or Gateway module
