Training Requirements
Objectives for Topic 1: Truck Chassis Electrical Multiplexing System
• Locate and identify electrical system components on the truck chassis
• Explain the term "multiplexing" and the differences between the multiplexed pre-2007-year
model electrical system and the post 2007-year model electrical system
• Use the Electronic Service Tool (technician computer) to access the internet-based
resources in OnCommand Service needed by all technicians to perform effective vehicle
diagnostics. Participants will retrieve Service and Diagnostic Manuals by VIN Vehicle
Identification Number) plus electrical circuit diagrams as well as valuable repair tips using
IKNOW (International Knowledge).
• Use a digital multi-meter to measure the voltage and resistance of the J1708 and J1939
high speed communication data links that connect the chassis, engine, anti-lock brakes
and automatic transmission computers. Technician will be able to determine if a fault exists
on the data link and how to make a correct repair.
• Remove and replace Center Panel Switches and other multiplexed electrical system
hardware components.
• Calibrate the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning system blend door motors.
Objectives for Topic 2: Diamond Logic Builder (DLB) Level 1, Electrical System Diagnostic Software
• Use the Electronic Service Tool to launch the Diamond Logic Builder software, select the
correct communication link software and electronically connect to the truck chassis using
the 9-pin diagnostic connector.
• Locate and view the selected truck chassis' electrical parameters (programmable &
nonprogrammable).
• Use the 'filter' function to locate the truck chassis' electrical system feature codes.
• Use Diamond Logic Builder software to make a diagnostic 'session', use the created
session to monitor real time activity while performing diagnostics on the HVAC system, and
then save the session for future use.
• Use Diamond Logic Builder software to perform individual gauge and group warning light
testing on the electronic gauge cluster.
• Use Diamond Logic Builder software to view the electrical connection (pin outs) to the
multiplexed electrical system's computer (Body Controller) and force output signals to the
individual circuits for diagnostic purposes.
• Use Diamond Logic Builder software to perform general electrical system diagnostics and
repairs to the truck chassis.

performance control systems; and environmental pollution control devices.
• Perform engine specific Low Pressure Fuel System flow and pressure diagnostics using
the appropriate 'Hard Start and No Start' procedures found in the service manual.
• Perform Injection Control Pressure System (high pressure oil) diagnostics using
appropriate 'Hard Start and No Start' procedures found in the service manual.
• Conduct Engine Running diagnostic performance analyses using the 'Performance
Diagnostics' procedures found in the service manual.
Objectives for Topic 4: Navistar Engine Diagnostic/HERO: Engine Diagnostic Software
• Use the Electronic Service Tool to launch the Navistar/HERO Engine Diagnostic Engine Diagnostic
Software, select the correct communication link software and electronically connect to the truck
engine using the 9-pin diagnostic connector.
• Locate and observe the selected truck engine's control & performance parameters (programmable
& non-programmable).
• Use appropriate Navistar/HERO Engine Diagnostic Engine Diagnostic Software sessions and tests
to perform Key On, Engine Off electrical diagnostics.
• Use appropriate Navistar/HERO Engine Diagnostic Engine Diagnostic Software sessions and tests
to perform Key On, Engine Running performance diagnostics.
• Use Navistar/HERO Engine Diagnostic Engine Diagnostic software to create a unique diagnostic
'session', use the created session to monitor real time activity while performing a recording
'snapshot' of the session and then save the session and snapshot for future review & use.
• Perform engine electrical circuit intermittent fault diagnostics using Navistar/HERO Engine
Diagnostic's continuous monitor session and observe/interpret sensor circuit voltages and signal
values.
• Use an electrical circuit 'breakout' harness and digital multi-meter to observe and diagnose
electrical engine control & performance signals generated by the Engine Control Module (engine
computer).
