With the ever increasing electronic content in today’s vehicles, the need to be able to read automotive wiring diagrams is as important as knowing how to use the different equipments needed to perform diagnostic work. This work will prepare you to later on be proficient at reading and following wiring diagrams.
Reading wiring diagrams requires a bit of knowledge of electricity and experience. By knowing the laws and rules that govern electron flow, you can become very proficient at this endeavor. Good luck and enjoy.
