 Auto Electronics

• Automotive electronics are

electronic systems used in vehicles,
including engine management,
ignition, radio, carputers,
telematics, in-car entertainment
systems, and others.
 Auto Electronics

• Automotive electronics are

electronic systems used in
vehicles, including engine
management, ignition, radio,
carputers, telematics, in-car
entertainment systems, and
others.
 Engine
Management
• EMS stands for Engine Management
System, which consists of a wide range of
electronic and electrical components such
as sensors, relays, actuators, and an
Engine Control Unit. They work together
to provide the Engine Management
System with vital data parameters.
 Ignition
• The electronic ignition system
is the type of ignition system
that uses electronic circuits,
usually by transistors
controlled by sensors to
generate electric pulses which
in turn generate the better spark
that can even burn the lean
mixture and provide better
economy and lower emission.
 Radio

• Vehicle audio is
equipment installed in a
car or other vehicle to
provide in-car
entertainment and
information for the
vehicle occupants.
 Carputers
• A carputer is a computer with
specializations to run in a car, such
as compact size, low power
requirement, and some customized
components. The computing
hardware is typically based on
standard PCs or mobile devices.
They normally have standard
interfaces such as Bluetooth, USB,
and WiFi.
 Telematics
• A telematics device is an
instrument, usually provided by
your insurance company, that
you install into your car. It
records information about your
driving behavior, including how
fast you drive, how fast you
brake, and the distance you
drive.
 In-car entertainment

• In-car entertainment (ICE), or in-vehicle

infotainment (IVI), is a collection of hardware
and software in automobiles that provides audio
or video entertainment. In car entertainment
originated with car audio systems that consisted
of radios and cassette or CD players, and now
includes automotive navigation systems, video
players, USB and Bluetooth connectivity,
Carputers, in-car internet, and WiFi. Once
controlled by simple dashboards knobs and
dials, ICE systems can include steering wheel
audio controls and handsfree voice control.
 Auto Electronics

• Ignition, engine and transmission

electronics are also found in trucks,
motorcycles, off-road vehicles, and other
internal combustion powered machinery
such as forklifts, tractors and excavators.
Related elements for control of relevant
electrical systems are also found on
hybrid vehicles and electric cars.
 The Importance of
Electrical System in
Automobile
• We turn on our vehicles every day with the switch of the
ignition, but have you ever stopped to think of how this is
possible? It is your vehicle’s electrical system that makes it
so. Not only is the electrical system important for starting up
your vehicle, but it is also important for keeping your vehicle
running as you drive it. In addition, it is the electrical system
that is also responsible for the functioning of things such as
your headlights, your radio, and your dashboard.
 Related Electrical
Tools

• Automotive electrical
tools are used to test and
diagnose and improve
electrical circuits in
automotive.
 Electrical Tools. Measuring
Instrument and Equipment
• Diagonal Cutters
• Wire Strippers
• Wire Crimpers
• Soldering Equipment
• Electrical Measurement
Device
• Intelligent Tester
• TechStream
• OBD
 Wire plier tools

• Diagonal Cutter
• Wire Stripper
• Wire Crimper
 Diagonal Cutters
• Diagonal cutting pliers are used for cutting wire and small pins in
areas that cannot be reached by larger cutting tools. Because the
cutting edges are diagonally offset about 15 degrees, these can
cut objects flush with a surface.
 Wire stripper
• A wire stripper is a small, hand-held device used
to strip the electrical insulation from electric
wires.
 Wire crimper
• Crimping is often used to affix a connector to the end of a cable.
Wire crimpers look like a pair of pliers, but join two pieces of
metal or other ductile materials (such as wire to a metal plate)
together. A crimper deforms one or both of the pieces, which holds
them together.
 Soldering
Equipment

• Soldering Iron
• Soldering Gun
• Butane Soldering
Iron
• Soldering Station
 Soldering Iron
• A soldering iron is a hand tool used to heat solder, usually
from an electrical supply at high temperatures above the
melting point of the metal alloy. This allows for the solder
to flow between the workpieces needing to be joined.
 Soldering Gun
• Soldering guns are used for applications where more heat is
required as irons use lower power. This tool is used for joining
stained glass, light sheet metal and heavy electronic soldering
work. When you need to solder intermittently, the soldering gun is
much more practical as it cools much quicker.
 Butane Soldering
Iron
• butane soldering irons have a broader range of heat than electric
soldering irons because you're able to limit the amount of butane
burned while soldering, resulting in a lower level of heat, less
wasted energy, and the ability to solder without under- or over-
doing it.
 Soldering Station

• A soldering station acts as a control station for your

soldering iron if you have an adjustable iron. The station
has the controls for adjusting the temperature of the iron as
well as other settings.
 Electrical Measuring
Instrument, Equipment

• Test Light
• Digital Multi-Meter
• Clamp Ammeter
• Intelligent Tester
• TechStream
• OBD
 Test Light
• A test light, test lamp, voltage tester, or mains tester is a piece of
electronic test equipment used to determine the presence of
electricity in a piece of equipment under test.
 Digital Multi-Meter
• A digital multimeter is a test tool used to measure two or
more electrical values—principally voltage (volts), current
(amps) and resistance (ohms). It is a standard diagnostic
tool for technicians in the electrical/electronic industries.
 Clamp ammeter

• Clamps measure current. Probes measure voltage. Having a hinged

jaw integrated into an electrical meter allows technicians to clamp
the jaws around a wire, cable or other conductor at any point in an
electrical system,
 On-board
diagnostic(OBD)
• On-board diagnostics (OBD) is
an automotive term referring to a
vehicle's self-diagnostic and
reporting capability. OBD
systems give the vehicle owner or
repair technician access to the
status of the various vehicle sub-
systems.
 Intelligent Tester

• The Diagnostic Scan Tool

(Scanner) aka "Intelligent Tester
II" is designed to fully utilize the
enhanced vehicle On-Board
Diagnosis function such as
improvement of data refresh rate
(CAN protocol), enhancement of
Freeze Frame Data and Active
Test function and so on.
 TechStream

• Toyota Techstream is a diagnostic

and customization software for
use with Toyota, Lexus, and
Scion car models. Toyota
developed Techstream for internal
use and for customers who want
to be a little more hands-on when
dealing with their car.

Related Health and Safety
1. Know the Risks of Electrical Hazards

Accidents and incidents in the workplace account for

hundreds of thousands of injuries and fatalities every year.
Identifying hazards is the first step in removing or
mitigating risks, and mitigating risks prevents injuries
2. Avoid Water and Other Conducting Materials When
Working With Electricity

We all know that water is a great conductor of electricity,

allowing current to flow more easily in wet conditions and through
wet skin. Water and electricity can be a lethal mixture. Avoid
electricity when body have made contact with water and metal or
other materials than can conduct electricity.
3. Disconnect Power Sources

Always plug out electricity or turn off anything that can

produce electricity, to avoid being electric shock when
fixing electricity.
4. For an Auto Technician, Electrical Safety Is Also Fire
Safety

Smoking or anything that can spark is incredibly

dangerous, as gasoline and many other fluids involved in
vehicle work and repair are extremely flammable.
5. Do Not Use Devices With Frayed Cords or Wires During
Auto Work

Assess the cords on your equipment for damage, and either

repair or discard equipment with exposed wires. Working with
compromised equipment puts you at risk for electrical injury, but
these simple precautions can help you achieve the peace of mind
you need to focus on your work.
