Engine Course Curriculum - T201

T201

Transmission Diagnostics and Component Repair

Students learn to distinguish transmission faults from engine, clutch and driveline concerns. Training covers scan tool diagnosis, electrical and air system testing, clutch evaluation, mechanical symptom analysis and external component service.

What Students Will Be Able to Do

Verify transmission complaints using driver information and safe road testing.
Interpret transmission codes, live data and controller information.
Test common sensor, actuator, harness, power and ground circuits.
Inspect air operated transmission controls and identify leaks or restrictions.
Evaluate clutch wear, adjustment and release system operation.
Distinguish internal transmission faults from driveline related symptoms.
Complete post repair calibration and verification procedures where applicable.
