Tomorrow's automotive professionals gain a firm foundation in the principles and practices of diagnosing and troubleshooting automotive electrical, electronic, and computer systems, presented in a clear, concise format and with a level of detail that far exceeds most other texts in the field. Formatted to appeal to today's technical trade students, Halderman's text uses helpful tips and visuals to bring concepts to life and guide students through the procedures they'll use on the job.
