Student-friendly breakdown of automotive systems, components, and procedures

Concise, easy-to-read chapters present content in manageable segments, letting instructors assign topics through entire chapters rather than through individual pages or questions.
Centrally located content about each system or component — purpose and function, parts and operation and diagnosis and service — saves students time searching the rest of the text for related information.
Step-by-step instructions and photo sequences detail best-practice approaches to performing specific tasks or service procedures, such as diagnosing and troubleshooting faults.
EXPANDED - Over 40 new full-color photos and line drawings bring subject matter to life, such as good versus defective parts and the inner workings of components.
