Automotive Electronics Advanced: ECU Control & Microelectronics

VSE11 A Bosch Certified Course

This electronics laboratory-based course is intended for garage service technicians involved in advanced diagnostic procedures and electronic repair work on motor vehicles. The aim of this course is to extend the delegate’s knowledge of electronic principles and develop an understanding on the workings of ECU control and electronic circuitry.

The diagnosis of complex vehicle systems requires a technician with a high level of understanding and a well developed thought process. Emphasis on this course is given to the construction of specialised electronic circuits and practical testing using laboratory oscilloscopes. The knowledge gained will aid trainees in their diagnostic approach to electronically controlled systems and prepare them for future trends in automotive technology.

The minimum prerequisite for this advanced vehicle systems course is the successful completion of course VSE7 and its prerequisites. Delegates are expected to be familiar with oscilloscope waveform manipulation and advanced electrical faultfinding. A good understanding of mathematical principles will also be an advantage.

The course is separated into linked subject areas to allow the essential underpinning theory and practical skills knowledge to be delivered effectively.

Modules and subject areas

  • Transistors & application circuitry
  • Multivibrator circuits and combined technologies
  • Logic gates and applications
  • Clocks, shift registers, frequency dividers, and counters
  • ECU architecture and input/output circuitry
  • ECU language, CAN messaging and software
  • Microcontrollers, CPU’s, memories and peripherals

On successful completion of VSE11 delegates will be able to:

  • Carry out advanced electronic analysis of vehicle circuitry and control electronics for the high-level diagnosis of vehicle electronic system faults.
  • Use the knowledge and skills gained to aid in identification of hardware or software related faults and correct ECU control function.
