This textbook comprehensively covers automotive electricity and electronics beginning at the basic circuit level, building up to computer control and digital storage oscilloscopes (DSOs). This is the only text with complete coverage of DSOs including explanations with what they are, when to use them, how to set them up and how to read them. Good and bad patterns are evaluated and illustrated with actual fluke DSO patterns. The repair and testing of starting, charging and ignition systems are emphasized.
