Description

ABOUT THIS COURSE

Modern diesel engines rely on two critical systems—fuel and air. Understanding how these systems operate is essential before beginning any diagnostic testing.

This practical workshop explains fuel control valves, turbocharger systems and proven diagnostic strategies used in professional workshops.

Through real workshop case studies and live diagnostic demonstrations, you'll learn how to test these systems correctly, interpret scan tool data and confirm failures before replacing components.

CRD Control Valves Training

FUEL CONTROL SYSTEMS

  • Fuel metering valves – Understanding which valve controls what
  • Suction control valves (SCV) – Operation, testing and common failures
  • Pressure regulator valves – Fuel rail pressure control strategies
  • Pressure limiting valves – Function, testing and comparison with pressure regulators
  • Rail pressure diagnostics – Using scan tool data to identify faults
  • Common fuel control valve failures – Proven diagnostic strategies

TURBOCHARGER SYSTEMS

  • Wastegate vs Variable Geometry Turbochargers (VGT)
  • Electronic and vacuum-operated turbo actuators
  • Common turbocharger faults and failure modes
  • Turbo actuator testing procedures
  • Scan tool diagnostics for turbocharger systems
  • Confirming turbocharger failure before replacement

LIVE DIAGNOSTIC DEMOSTRATIONS

  • Fuel rail pressure analysis using scan tool data
  • Pressure regulator vs pressure limiting valve diagnostics
  • Turbo actuator testing methods
  • Amp clamp testing techniques
  • Confirming turbocharger replacement using diagnostic evidence
  • Open Q&A – Real workshop fault discussion
