Electrons Fallen by the Way Part 1 - Battling "The Battery Phantom" of Parasitic Battery Drains

Session 1: Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025 @ 12pm ET (9am PT)

Session 2: Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025 @ 3pm ET (12pm PT)

Have you ever battled a phantom (intermittent) parasitic battery drain? Your customer's 12-volt battery tests great today but goes dead in a week. In this Delphi lunch time virtual training webinar, senior tech trainer Dave Hobbs will give you practical tips on identifying phantom battery drains in order to keep your customers' vehicles starting reliably! 

• Parasitic current draw - What is normal?
• Using an Ohmmeter as a "quick check"
• How to "sneak" into battery circuits without a 12-volt power down

Electrons Fallen by the Way Part 2 - Voltage Drop Testing The RIGHT Way!

Session 1: Thursday, Feb. 20, 2025 @ 12pm ET (9am PT)

Session 2: Thursday, Feb. 20, 2025 @ 3pm ET (12pm PT)

One of the most common problems in electrical circuits is excessive voltage drops. Everything from staring/charging to engine management and ABS relies on every electron getting from the battery to the load. In this Delphi lunch time virtual training webinar, senior tech trainer Dave Hobbs will give you practical tips on performing voltage drops accurately. 

• Voltage drop testing vs. Open Circuit Voltage (OCV)
• Voltage drop values - How much is normal?
• The importance of powering the circuit
• The importance of loading the circuit
• Proper meter lead placement

Keeping Your Cool Part 1 - Electrically Heated Thermostats and Electric Water Pumps

Session 1: Thursday, Mar. 13, 2025 @ 12pm ET (9am PT)

Session 2: Thursday, Mar. 13, 2025 @ 3pm ET (12pm PT)

OEMs research every method possible to meet increasingly stringent emission and fuel economy standards while maintaining drivability. Cooling systems have always required a good water pump and thermostat to keep the engine cool (but not too cool).  In this Delphi lunch time virtual training webinar, senior tech trainer Dave Hobbs will give you practical tips on identifying and diagnosing electric ‘stats’ and water pumps with examples ranging from the popular Toyota D4-S engine to the Chevy Equinox. 

• The why's and how's on electrically heated (AKA "mapped") thermostats
• Real world P0128 (thermostat performance) case study
• The why's and how's of active cooling systems (electric water pumps)
• Scan tool PIDs to monitor with active cooling systems

Keeping Your Cool Part 2 - Changes in A/C Compressors

Session 1: Thursday, Apr. 17, 2025 @ 12pm ET (9am PT)

Session 2: Thursday, Apr. 17, 2025 @ 12pm ET (9am PT)

Smaller, lighter, variable displacement and even 3-Phase AC powered air conditioning compressors have taken over as the compressor technologies for today. Are you ready to service them this A/C season? In this Delphi lunch time virtual training webinar, senior tech trainer Dave Hobbs will give you practical tips on variable displacement and electric compressors. 

• Variable displacement control solenoids/regulators
  • Tips on scan tool and manifold gauge diagnostics
  • V7 clutch engages but no displacement (real world case study)
• High voltage compressors
  • Types of AC powered compressors
  • Service precautions for technician safety and compressor longevity

Session 1: Thursday, May 8, 2025 @ 12pm ET (9am PT)

Session 2: Thursday, May 8, 2025 @ 3pm ET (12pm PT)

Every professional tech will agree that Hybrid (HEV), Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) and EVs (BEV) vehicles are NOT a fad. In this Delphi lunch time virtual training webinar, senior tech trainer Dave Hobbs will give you practical tips on identifying electrified vehicles that use high voltage systems (> 50-volts DC) and some of the more common service procedures you'll run into. 

• HV battery locations and types 
• Proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• Other tools to budget for
• HV power down procedures - old and new!
