Description

How the spark is made and timed in a modern engine: the types of ignition system, the working principle of electronic ignition with crankshaft and camshaft sensors, spark advance according to load and speed, ignition coils and the IGT signal, spark plugs and their gap, and the diagnosis of misfiring. The practical exercises include testing the battery and inspecting and replacing spark plugs.

Safety first: hybrid and electric vehicles carry dangerous high voltage. Practise the procedures only in a training workshop, under a qualified trainer, with insulated gloves and tools, and always follow the manufacturer’s service manual.

Based on the SEG training unit “نظام الإشعال الإلكتروني”. Every page of the unit is shown exactly as printed, with its illustrations; the AI Trainer explains each page with you.

Prerequisites: Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Technology and Vehicle Safety & Protection Systems (recommended).
