Module 3A - Component Examinations

In this module delegates will learn how to acquire data from the electronic control unit (ECU) outside of the vehicle, commonly referred to as a bench examination. This will centre around infotainment modules and use a method known as ISP or direct eMMC.  It will allow you to increase your capabilities surrounding data acquisitions from a wider arena of vehicles. Many of these solutions have been developed through our company’s research and development, together with the expertise and knowledge of our trusted associates. Delegates will be hands on with infotainment modules and putting theory into practice to use the techniques taught in being able to acquire data in a non-destructive manner.
