Quick Navigation

Overview

Ideal for aspiring and active automotive professionals, TODAY'S TECHNICIAN: AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRICITY & ELECTRONICS, Eighth Edition, equips readers to confidently understand, diagnose and repair electrical and electronic systems in today's automobiles. Using a unique two-volume approach to optimize learning in both the classroom and the auto shop, the first volume (Classroom Manual) covers the theory and application of electricity, electronics and circuitry in modern automobiles, while the second (Shop Manual) covers real-world symptoms, diagnostics and repair information. Known for its comprehensive coverage, accurate and up-to-date technical information and hundreds of detailed, full-color illustrations and photographs, the text is an ideal resource to prepare for success as an automotive technician or pursue ASE certification. Now updated with extensive information on new and emerging technology and techniques--including telematic systems, LED and adaptive lighting, hybrid and electric vehicles, stop/start technology, Wi-Fi connectivity, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and other modern accessory systems--the Eighth Edition also aligns with the ASE Education Foundation 2022 accreditation model and includes job sheets correlated to all MLR, AST and MAST tasks.
