This practical course was entirely on vehicle diagnostics where we learned and worked on different mechatronics systems in the powertrain , driveline, telematics, HMI and chasis in Mercedes-Benz passenger cars ranging from the steering and brakes to the transmission and engines along with its working schematics according to Daimlers service documents and how the sensors, actuators and control units were interfaced and calibrated with the mechanical components . We also studied about the… Show more This practical course was entirely on vehicle diagnostics where we learned and worked on different mechatronics systems in the powertrain , driveline, telematics, HMI and chasis in Mercedes-Benz passenger cars ranging from the steering and brakes to the transmission and engines along with its working schematics according to Daimlers service documents and how the sensors, actuators and control units were interfaced and calibrated with the mechanical components . We also studied about the networking of the different control units through CAN and other protocols like MOST, LIN, ETHERNET, FLEXRAY. We also worked on vehicle diagnostics using the OBD 2 port and accessed the vehicle's 45 ecu's using Daimler's XEntry Diagnostics Tool while diagnosing major and common faults occuring in vehicle's and also saw ECU initialization and flashing using it. We also learnt about the L1,L2 Autonomous Drive Pilot DAS and got introduced to the 48V hybrid vehicle technology and drive authorization levels. Show less
