About the Course:

This Troubleshooting Common ICE Issues microcredential equips technicians with the skills to diagnose and resolve common issues in internal combustion engines (ICEs), particularly in hybrid applications. Technicians seeking advanced hybrid skills can continue their training through the Hybrid Vehicle Technician Program. Learners will use VR simulations to identify faulty sensors, troubleshoot idle stop-start systems, and recognize mechanical faults unique to hybrid ICEs. The course emphasizes the correct use of diagnostic tools and systematic troubleshooting strategies to reduce downtime and improve repair accuracy.

Learning Objectives:

  • Perform diagnostics on faulty camshaft and crankshaft position sensors.
  • Troubleshoot throttle position sensors and related drivability issues.
  • Diagnose problems with start-stop systems affecting idle stop and restart functions.
  • Identify failures in airflow and combustion sensors, including MAF, MAP, Oâ‚‚, and knock sensors.
  • Detect and evaluate mechanical faults in hybrid ICEs, including timing chain, piston, and valve issues.
  • Apply VR-based diagnostic tools and workflows to simulate real-world service situations.

Course delivered via LMS and requires an Oculus VR headset for hands-on VR simulations.
