Project #LoTech: NKCS Students Customize Truck For The 2018 SEMA Show
This year, the SEMA Show floor had a very special customized vehicle. No, we aren’t talking about a Chip Foose build or Ken Block’s newest racing machine. We’re talking about a completely modified 2017 Ford F-150, customized in part by the automotive department at the Career and Technical Education Center of North Kansas City Schools.
Impact Of Summer Heat On Batteries
Summer temperatures can be a nightmare for car batteries. As a technician, you need to be able to spot the telltale warning signs of weakened batteries and sell your customers on the need for service.
Next Generation Start/Stop Systems
Although stop/start idle Âsystems have been used on Âhybrid vehicles for many years, a growing number of non-Âhybrid late-model import models are also being equipped with this fuel-saving technology.
Late-Model Vehicles Place High Demands On Batteries
Long, cold winters are hard on car batteries, but long hot summers can be even harsher. Batteries in hot climates like Arizona, New Mexico and Florida typically need to be replaced a year or two sooner than those in states with more moderate climates. The reason is that heat causes the electrolyte inside the battery to evaporate, and once the level drops below the tops of the plates, the plates suffer permanent damage.
Diagnostic Strategies For Stop/Start Systems
This function of the power management system uses several modules to decide when the engine needs to stop and start.
Integrated Wheel Ends
The leading cause of IWE failure is water finding its way into the vacuum lines under the hood and in the wheel well.
Batteries For Stop/Start Systems
On all stop/start vehicles, the life and performance of the battery are measured by the vehicle in several ways.
Diagnostic Procedures For Stop/Start Systems
Stop/start technology is more than just a switch wired to the brake pedal and starter.
