To Be the Best

GM’s AF50 Aisin 8-Speed FWD

Take a look at the new AF50 Aisin 8-speed FWD – including solenoid and component function - find out how to test the pressure correctly and evaluate your test results. Transaxle disassembly, clutch clearance, torque specifications, air

checks, valve body breakdown. Transaxle fluid type and fill procedures, and computer relearn procedures.

Mike Brown 4pm-5pm


WednesdayOctober 31

Programming Problems, Solutions, and More!

A comprehensive look into programming issues with domestic and foreign vehicles that will include necessary system resets after programming, quick/fast learn procedures, solenoid calibration programming and

necessary calibration test drive procedures. Discover operations that can be performed with an aftermarket scan tool as well as when an OEM specific tool will be necessary. This is a session packed with information that will make it more efficient to take a car from diagnosis to delivery on the computer side of the job!

Keith Clark 5:15pm-7pm


Reference Voltage Test Tips You Should Know

Reference voltage circuits have been part of computer-sensor operation for years. But many technicians still overlook these circuits during diagnosis. Watch out, some reference circuit failures can cause crazy symptoms such as a no-start, no-

code condition – not to mention communication error messages. Learn how to troubleshoot these symptoms methodically with a common digital voltmeter. Don’t miss this class!

Dan Marinucci 8am-9:30am

Mike Souza 9:45am-11:15am


Evaluating Rebuild Options When Time is Money

When a rebuild job rolls in, determining the best course of action isn’t easy. Should you repair in-house using aftermarket kits, parts and tools? Choose a good used unit, purchase a remanufactured unit, or contact the dealer for a new or rebuilt unit? You have to make the best decision for your shop, and time is money.
