Description
Welcome to my Automotive Electronics Course. Most people, even many technicians in the field do not understand how electronic circuits work and how to diagnose them.
What are diodes and transistors?
How are they used in automotive circuits and inside modules?
How do temperature sensor circuits and position sensor circuits work?
What are input and output circuits? What do they do?
Why do trouble codes set and what do they mean?
The confusion stops now! In this course, I will explain how diodes and transistors work in automotive applications and demonstrate their operation. Power side and ground side switch circuits, as well as temperature sensor and position sensor circuits are explained in detail and demonstrated so you can truly understand how they work. Let’s simplify input, output, and module logic circuits so they do not scare you any longer.
While it is best to have basic automotive electrical knowledge before taking this course. It is not required.
This course explains and describes the operation of some electronic components in detail and provides many demonstrations. It is not an on-car diagnostic or repair course, or a class on how to use a scan tool to read and interpret data. Better yet, it provides the understanding you need to apply what you have learned here to other electronic components and circuits.
Join me in this eye-opening course and learn how stuff works! Whether you are looking to better understand your own car, or working in the automotive field, this course is packed with information and demonstrations to help take you to the next level.
Let’s get started!
Who this course is for:
- Do-it-Yourselfers or Anyone who wants to learn about Automotive Electronics
- Beginner Automotive Students looking to better understand Automotive Electronics
- Automotive Engineering Students who want to know how sensors, switches, and modules operate

I am a fully Certified Master Automotive Technician by ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) and Scored 100% on the Electrical/Electronic Systems Certification Test.
I have been a coach and teacher for most of my life, training students both young and old. In my 26 years of experience as an Expert Diagnostic and Repair Technician for Automotive Dealerships, I was the go to guy for vehicles with problems that no one else could fix, as well as a Shop Foreman and Instructor of fellow technicians. More recently, I have educated students for almost 10 years as an Instructor of Automotive, Electrical, and Electronics systems at a Technical School in NY. While there I received a Recognition Award as Top Instructor for being able to get through to students that others thought could not succeed.
To me Teaching should be about:
Getting the Students Involved in the Learning Experience.
Lecturing with a Purpose, not just to show how much you know.
Teaching in a way that lets students realize “I can do this”, not how hard it is.
I am Passionate about what I do – I am here to teach and take Great Pride in every Light Bulb I Can Turn on.
