AUTOMOTIVE CAN & TELEMATICS SYSTEMS
TRAINING COURSE

​Learn CAN and telematics fundamentals, including how the Controller Area Network (CAN) enables real-time communication between a vehicle’s electronic control units (ECUs), and how telematics systems collect, transmit, and analyze data for fleet management.

Modern fleet vehicles—whether powered by diesel, CNG, hybrid, or electric drivetrains—rely on these data systems for performance optimization, diagnostics, and compliance. A technician’s ability to interpret CAN signals, diagnose communication faults, and understand telematics integrations is now essential to maintaining uptime and reliability.

​

WTA's CAN & Telematics Fleet Technician Training Course combines classroom instruction with hands-on exercises that build real-world diagnostic skills. Technicians will work directly with vehicle networks and telematics hardware to understand how these systems interact, support maintenance, and deliver actionable data to fleet management platforms.

Course Topics:​

• Fundamentals of Controller Area Network (CAN) communication

• CAN-FD, LIN, and Ethernet network relationships and data transfer

• Identifying and diagnosing CAN bus faults and communication errors

• Understanding telematics systems: sensors, gateways, modems, and GPS modules

• How telematics integrates with vehicle ECUs for remote diagnostics and reporting

• Data use in fleet management, preventive maintenance, and regulatory compliance

• Hands-on practice using diagnostic software and network analyzers

​

Participants will gain the ability to interpret and troubleshoot connected vehicle systems, improving diagnostic accuracy, communication reliability, and fleet performance. Fleet managers will better understand how CAN and telematics data can enhance operations and maintenance efficiency.

Equip your technicians with the knowledge and tools to maintain the connected fleets of today—and tomorrow.
