Steve V. Hatch

Steve V. Hatch is a professor at the Lincoln College of Technology (LCT), Denver Campus, formerly known as Denver Automotive and Diesel College (DADC). Active in the automotive field since 1972, he has worked as a technician in both aftermarket shops and dealerships. Professor Hatch began his teaching career in 1989, teaching evening classes while continuing to work as a drivability technician in a dealership. He began teaching full-time in August 1991 at DADC and has since worked as both an instructor and a curriculum developer for the college, as well as a training coordinator for Snap-on Technical Training. In 1994 he became part of Colorado’s Air Care retraining program, designed to increase professional technicians’ understanding of modern systems. Working in conjunction with Bridgestone, in 2002 Professor Hatch developed a national training program to increase the diagnostic effectiveness of lead technicians in stores throughout the U.S. These stores now include Firestone, Tires Plus, and Wheel Works. Professor Hatch is an ASE Master Certified Automotive Technician and is also ASE L1 and L3 Certified. He instructs both professional technicians and entry-level students on a continuing basis throughout the year.

Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • The author presents information in a logical, highly effective way, introducing basic principles in early chapters, covering one concept at a time, and building on the reader’s growing knowledge by exploring increasingly advanced topics, resulting in an in-depth understanding of the complex systems found in modern vehicles.
  • A series of five chapters devoted to specific manufacturers explores in detail how the general concepts readers have mastered apply to systems found in General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Bosch, and Nissan/Toyota/Honda engine control systems, respectively.
  • Material in the generic chapters is presented in a way designed to help readers work effectively with a variety of manufacturer-specific systems. For example, a discussion of the three levels of tach reference information available to the PCM will enable readers to understand individual fuel management or spark management systems by using symptoms to narrow down a problem area when a signal is lost.
  • Each chapter concludes with ASE-style questions to allow readers to review and reinforce key concepts, as well as gaining familiarity with the types of questions they are likely to encounter both in certification testing and their professional careers.
