AUT 226 - Advance Engine Electronics & Fuel System Service

Credits: 7
Studies electronic inputs to the computerized engine controls; units of instruction necessary to develop a thorough understanding of induction systems and injection systems. Develops skills through controlled learning experiences with sensors, fuel delivery, and fuel injection systems. Credit may be earned in AUT 220 and AUT 222 or AUT 226 but not in both.

Prerequisite(s): AUT 110 , AUT 210W , and AUT 112W  each with a minimum grade of “C” (2.0)
Corequisite(s): AUT 228W  
Lecture Hours: 60 Lab Hours: 90
Meets MTA Requirement: None
Pass/NoCredit: No
