The theory and practice for all major systems and components of today’s automobiles are introduced in this fully-updated revision by experienced author, Anthony Schwaller. The easy-to-read format divides content into manageable units covering automotive engines, mechanical and fluid engine systems, electrical engine systems, emissions and control, power transmission, vehicle suspension and control, and vehicle accessory systems. New material includes hybrid vehicles, 42-volt electrical systems, different fuel types, and added electronics. A "Problems, Diagnosis, and Service" troubleshooting approach is used to deliver content that is also directly related to ASE certification exams and NATEF tasks.
