Laptop-based Diagnostics is an advanced course with lead/A technicians in mind.  It starts with the basics of maintaining the laptop itself and the diagnostic link.  Once laptop basics are finished we connect to a real truck and spend the next two days walking through codes, diagnostic steps, and discussing when it is valid to step around code walkthroughs. 

Lessons also include reading schematics, using multimeters without damaging wiring, resisting the urge to pull out the parts cannon.
