Automotive Sensor Testing 2.0

(Note: This APP runs fine on Android tablets. The entire book is contained in the APP. Click on the table of content items to jump to section. This is a Book-APP.)

This book is totally based on actual working conditions and real life diagnostics.

But most of all, this book was done for you, “The Lone Automotive Mechanic or Technician”. The guy (or girl in some cases) who works all day long and studies at night to further his/her career in spite of the stress of the day, the guy who’s not appreciated for what he does because to the rest of the world he’s the dirty mechanic that doesn't know better, the guy who spends thousands of dollars in tools and equipment but that nobody has any idea that he did, and the guy who in spite of all the drawbacks of our profession is happy at what he does and keeps America rolling. This work was done for you. I hope you enjoy and learn from it. Remember, no matter what happens keep building your knowledge and it’ll pay-off in the end.
