Seminars National Collision Repair Workshops OTDA TRENDS ConferenceSeminar Schedule Wednesday, September 26th 9:00 am – 10:00 am 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm S1 Hybrids .. Hype or Hope? Canada’s Future Technology? S2 Introduction to New Trends in Charging and Starting Systems In this seminar, Mohammad Samii, APRA's Coordinator of Electrical Training will discuss design features, and characteristics of common contemporary starter and alternators prevalent in the field. This class is designed to familiarize technicians as well as other interested individuals with modern charging and starting components, their interconnection with PCM, and voltage regulation. S3 Nitrogen Tire Inflation: What Dealers Need to Know Nitrogen has a long history in many applications, and now, it is being used as a tire inflation gas. In this seminar, get expert answers about why to sell Nitrogen, how to calculate profits, types of systems, where to put the system, and technical issues to consider avoiding unnecessary pain and suffering. Thursday, September 27th 9:00 am – 12:00 Noon W1 Advanced Hybrid Technology for Technicians This 3 hour class will bring you up-to-date on current problems with Toyota and Honda Hybrids. Loaded with real world repairs and service issues, this is NOT an entry level class or a safety class. If you are a good technician with limited hybrid training, take this class as it will show what you need to know. Craig Van Batenburg is a leader in technical training on hybrids. His classes last year were well attended and well received. W2 Modern Charging & Starting Systems Workshop In this workshop, Mohammad Samii, APRA's Coordinator of Electrical Training will discuss design features, and characteristics of common and contemporary starter and alternators in detail. This class is deigned to familiarize technicians with the latest in various system design and features; such as PCM activation, control, and monitoring of the modern charging systems in GM, Ford, Chrysler, as well as some imports. Presentation of slides depicting scope captures and actual meter readings of various system gives the technician a reference toward a correct diagnostic path. W3 Electronic Engine Control: Thinking Beyond the Manual / Analysis of individual case studies designed to teach automotive repair professionals how to develop their own personal diagnostic thought processes, when all traditional diagnostic methods have failed. Also included in this seminar will be a presentation on Ford “Smart Charge” systems, as well as a presentation on some of Ford’s different electronic vehicle systems. This seminar is designed for the beginning and advanced driveability/electronics technician. 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm S4 Greening Trends and How they Affect the Aftermarket Greening trends call for harmonized and scientifically sound regulations that will allow the industry to bring their most advanced “green” technologies to Canada. The economic importance to Canada of “green” driving solutions will have a major effect on the aftermarket industry. As the fastest growing market segment is entry level and fuel efficient vehicles, learn about how greening trends in the industry affect the aftermarket and how to update your current practices to stay ahead on the road! S5 Best Service Practices and Compressor Replacement This presentation covers “Best Practices” service and repair methods for mobile A/C systems. When adhered to, the procedures described should help assure high-quality long-lasting repairs, reduction of comebacks and increased customer satisfaction. Its broad-based format appeals to individuals with limited A/C repair experience as well as seasoned professionals. 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm COMP1 Ford 6.0L D.I.T. Diesel: Powerstrok Troubleshooting This presentation will cover the different 6.0L electronic control subsystems interface. You will learn about the electronic engine control functions of the Ford 6.0L D.I.T. Powerstroke engine as well as identify and analyze the significance of the subsystem strategies and operating characteristics. You will also understand how to identify and interpret the most common fault codes and learn how to apply them to the diagnostic and repair processes. S6 Right to Repair Due to the increased sophistication of today’s vehicles, it is gradually becoming more difficult for independent repair facilities to access the information from vehicle manufacturers. The aftermarket industry and independent repair facilities are being restricted access to the tools, training and repair codes preventing them from repairing late model vehicles. This controlled auto repair effectively eliminates consumer choice. In this session, you will gain an overview of these ‘right to repair’ issues taking place in Canada and the USA. Friday, September 28th 9:00 am – 10:30 am S7 Oxygen Sensor Monitors Among all the sensors in the various electronic control systems for today's engines, the oxygen sensor is the most critical for producing the optimum air/fuel mixture. As Oxygen sensors are critical for keeping gas mileage up and exhaust emissions down in today's cars, light trucks and vans, this program covers the monitor principles and the types of oxygen sensors used on today’s vehicles. Sensors such as Lean Air Fuel sensors, wide range sensors and Planar sensors will be explained along with methods to test the Oxygen sensors and the types of tools used. S8 TPMS Technician Training Course TIA’s TPMS Training Program is designed to provide technicians with a basic understanding of how different types of systems interact with the vehicle. It also includes the various types of service that techs will need to perform in order to maintain the system. Since most TPMS utilize a valve stem sensor and many include run-flat tires, special attention is given to the step-by-step procedures for handling these assemblies. The Program also covers recalibration guidelines for many popular models and includes an appendix with relearn summaries and installation torque values for valve stem sensors.
