Automotive electricity and electronics

By A.L. Santini

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.

Customer Reviews

i like it

I agree with the opinions expressed in other reviews, but I also really like the book. It is one of the few automotive books I own, i only have ten or so, and i think there is a real problem with writing this kind of book, you really need to see the parts. But, seriously how can you get modern photos into a book, photos go out of date, etc. I love the lab book, it says, "if some dude complains about this, check out that" and that is really helpful and no other books have that. i think the bits of info in the margin is well done, some books have way too much junk in the margins, and often it is the same phrase from the main text- definitions are normally like that. There are so many bad bad bad textbooks out there that i thought I should say this one is not bad, so I gave it five stars.

will get you by..

I purchased this book because it was required for my automotive electronics class.. Although it's a two volume set, a lot of the same information can be found on both books. Never the less, it's a nice book to learn from and use as a reference when trouble shooting electrical circuits. One huge issue though is because it's written with a students perspective in mind the quizzes/questions at the end of each chapter do not come with answers that you can use to cross check!
