Automotive Electronics: Sensors & Components

VSE7 A Bosch Certified Course

This electronics laboratory-based course will aid garage technicians involved in diagnostic and repair work on any electronically controlled vehicle system.

The aim of this course is to provide a sound knowledge of basic electronic principles to aid in understanding the internal working principles of the sensors and components found on modern vehicle electrical systems. Course emphasis is on the practical construction of electronic circuits using discrete componentry, the study of various sensor technologies and the bench testing of vehicle components. Relationships are established between the fundamental workings of electronics and actual vehicle applications.

The prerequisite for this vehicle systems course is the successful completion of the Bosch Diagnostic Technician programme. Delegates are expected to be familiar with common electrical principles and an understanding of basic mathematical principles will also be of advantage.

The course is separated into linked subject areas to allow the essential underpinning theory and practical skills knowledge to be delivered effectively.

Modules and subject areas:

  • Electronic properties, atomic behaviour and magnetic principles
  • Series, parallel and composite resistive circuits
  • Voltage dividers, Wheatstone bridge, MAP and air mass sensors
  • Semiconductor technology, diodes, LED’s and transistors
  • Inductors, capacitors and sensor applications
  • Speed, position, movement, gas and further sensor technologies

On successful completion of VSE7 delegates will be able to:

  • Carry out advanced analysis of vehicle electronic faults at an accomplished level and utilise specific component test procedures to provide extra data in the evaluation of vehicle system and component faults.
  • Use the knowledge gained on the functioning of electronic devices to confirm components requiring replacement or repair where appropriate.
