viii Student Tools Student Text Modern Automotive Technology details the construction, operation, diagnosis, service, and repair of late-model automobiles and light trucks. Student-focused content is presented using a building- block approach that starts with the fundamental principles of system operation and progresses gradually to complex diagnostic and service procedures. Short sentences, concise definitions, and thousands of color images help students learn quickly and easily. Organized around the ASE automobile test areas and correlated to the ASE Education Foundation Task List (MLR, AST, and MAST), Modern Automotive Technology helps prepare students to service and repair today’s complex vehicles. Workbook The student workbook includes a variety of questions in various formats to help reinforce textbook content. Each chapter corresponds to the text and reinforces key concepts and applied knowledge. Step-by-step jobs in the workbook guide students through important service and repair procedures. Shop Manual The shop manual provides hands-on practice of 100% of the tasks in all three sections of the ASE Education Foundation Task List (MLR, AST, and MAST).
