Auto Electronics
• Automotive electronics are

electronic systems used in
vehicles, including engine
management, ignition, radio,
carputers, telematics, in-car
entertainment systems, and others.

engine management, ignition, radio,
carputers, telematics, in-car
entertainment systems, and others.
Engine Management
• EMS stands for Engine

Management System, which
consists of a wide range of
electronic and electrical
components such as sensors,
relays, actuators, and an Engine
Control Unit. They work together
to provide the Engine
Management System with vital
data parameters.
Ignition
• The electronic ignition system is

the type of ignition system that
uses electronic circuits, usually by
transistors controlled by sensors to
generate electric pulses which in
turn generate the better spark that
can even burn the lean mixture
and provide better economy and
lower emission.
Radio
• Vehicle audio is equipment

installed in a car or other vehicle
to provide in-car entertainment
and information for the vehicle
occupants.
Carputers
• A carputer is a computer with

specializations to run in a car,
such as compact size, low power
requirement, and some
customized components. The
computing hardware is typically
based on standard PCs or mobile
devices. They normally have
standard interfaces such as
Bluetooth, USB, and WiFi.
Telematics
• A telematics device is an
instrument, usually provided by
your insurance company, that you
install into your car. It records
information about your driving
behavior, including how fast you
drive, how fast you brake, and the
distance you drive.
In-car entertainment
• In-car entertainment (ICE), or in-vehicle

infotainment (IVI), is a collection of hardware
and software in automobiles that provides audio
or video entertainment. In car entertainment
originated with car audio systems that consisted
of radios and cassette or CD players, and now
includes automotive navigation systems, video
players, USB and Bluetooth connectivity,
Carputers, in-car internet, and WiFi. Once
controlled by simple dashboards knobs and
dials, ICE systems can include steering wheel
audio controls and handsfree voice control.
Auto Electronics
• Ignition, engine and transmission electronics are also found in

trucks, motorcycles, off-road vehicles, and other internal
combustion powered machinery such as forklifts, tractors and
excavators. Related elements for control of relevant electrical
systems are also found on hybrid vehicles and electric cars.
The Importance of
Electrical System in
Automobile
• We turn on our vehicles every day with the switch of the ignition, but
have you ever stopped to think of how this is possible? It is your vehicle’s
electrical system that makes it so. Not only is the electrical system
important for starting up your vehicle, but it is also important for keeping
your vehicle running as you drive it. In addition, it is the electrical system
that is also responsible for the functioning of things such as your
headlights, your radio, and your dashboard.

Tools
• Automotive electrical tools

are used to test and diagnose
and improve electrical circuits
in automotive.

Wire plier tools
• Diagonal Cutter
• Wire Stripper
• Wire Crimper
Diagonal Cutters
• Diagonal cutting pliers are used for cutting wire and small pins in
areas that cannot be reached by larger cutting tools. Because the
cutting edges are diagonally offset about 15 degrees, these can cut
objects flush with a surface.
Wire stripper
• A wire stripper is a small, hand-held device used to strip the

electrical insulation from electric wires.
Wire crimper
• Crimping is often used to affix a connector to the end of a cable.
Wire crimpers look like a pair of pliers, but join two pieces of
metal or other ductile materials (such as wire to a metal plate)
together. A crimper deforms one or both of the pieces, which holds
them together.
Soldering
Equipment
• Soldering Iron
• Soldering Gun
• Butane Soldering Iron
• Soldering Station
Soldering Iron
• A soldering iron is a hand tool used to heat solder, usually from an
electrical supply at high temperatures above the melting point of
the metal alloy. This allows for the solder to flow between the
workpieces needing to be joined.
Soldering Gun
• Soldering guns are used for applications where more heat is required as irons
use lower power. This tool is used for joining stained glass, light sheet metal
and heavy electronic soldering work. When you need to solder
intermittently, the soldering gun is much more practical as it cools much
quicker.
Butane Soldering
Iron
• butane soldering irons have a broader range of heat than electric soldering
irons because you're able to limit the amount of butane burned while
soldering, resulting in a lower level of heat, less wasted energy, and the
ability to solder without under- or over-doing it.
Soldering Station
• A soldering station acts as a control station for your soldering iron

if you have an adjustable iron. The station has the controls for
adjusting the temperature of the iron as well as other settings.
Electrical Measuring
Instrument
• Test Light
• Digital Multi-Meter
• Clamp Ammeter
Test Light
• A test light, test lamp, voltage tester, or mains tester is a piece of

electronic test equipment used to determine the presence of
electricity in a piece of equipment under test.
Digital Multi-Meter
• A digital multimeter is a test tool used to measure two or more

electrical values—principally voltage (volts), current (amps) and
resistance (ohms). It is a standard diagnostic tool for technicians in
the electrical/electronic industries.
Clamp ammeter
• Clamps measure current. Probes measure voltage. Having a hinged

jaw integrated into an electrical meter allows technicians to clamp
the jaws around a wire, cable or other conductor at any point in an
electrical system,

Related Health and Safety
1. Know the Risks of Electrical Hazards When You Become an Auto Technician
It is a lot easier to abide by safety standards if you understand what they are meant to
prevent. Electrical safety is largely in place to prevent an event in which your body or the
body of another person completes an electrical circuit, which is what leads to electricity-
related injuries.
Like water, most metals, and several other materials, the human body can conduct
electricity, which puts us as at risk. Exposure to electrical currents can result in four main
types of injuries: painful electric shocks, electrical burns, fatal electrocution, and falls
caused by any of the above. To avoid these nasty results, abiding by electrical safety
principles is a must.
2. Avoid Water and Other Conducting Materials When Working With Electricity
As you become an auto technician, one factor that increases the likelihood of you
becoming a part of an electric circuit is contact with conducting materials, such as water
or metal. Never do electrical work with wet hands, and survey your surroundings for
puddles or unusual moisture before beginning your work. When working with metal, be
sure to use tools with insulating materials like rubber, as well as protective and insulated
gloves and eyewear, to avoid accidentally coming into contact with electrical currents.
3. Graduates of Mechanic Training Programs Know to Disconnect Power Sources
Once you have a safe environment and the right tools, make sure you have de-
energized the engine or piece of machinery that you are working with. De-energizing
involves the obvious step of simply unplugging or turning off the power source. However,
you should also use a specialized tester in order to make sure there is no additional
electricity flowing through the circuit before you begin handling wires.
4. For an Auto Technician, Electrical Safety Is Also Fire Safety
During your mechanic training program, you will learn that smoking on the job is
incredibly dangerous, as gasoline and many other fluids involved in vehicle work and
repair are extremely flammable. While the fire hazard of electrical work is not nearly as
high as with smoking, you should be similarly cautious when doing electrical work near
flammable materials, as sparks can fly—especially when other electrical safety standards
are neglected. Make sure you are working in a well-ventilated area, and that you know
where the fire extinguisher in your work station is. In the unusual event that something
catches aflame, you need to be ready to act fast and put it out immediately!
5. Do Not Use Devices With Frayed Cords or Wires During Auto Work
Electrical safety applies not only to the electrical system that you are working on, but
also to the devices you are using. Make sure that you assess the cords on your equipment
for damage, and either repair or discard equipment with exposed wires. Working with
compromised equipment puts you at risk for electrical injury, but these simple precautions
can help you achieve the peace of mind you need to focus on your work.
