WTA’s Level 2 Advanced Vehicle Electrical Systems Diagnosis Training builds off our Level 1 course, deepening a technician’s ability to diagnose and repair complex electrical and electronic systems found on modern light-, medium-, and heavy-duty gasoline, diesel, propane, hybrid, and fully electric vehicles. It moves technicians into advanced diagnostic strategies required for repairing and maintaining today’s electronically controlled systems.
Hands-on instruction is a central part of Level 2 Vehicle Electrical Systems Training. Technicians develop a deeper understanding of computer-controlled circuits, sensor and actuator behavior, module inputs and outputs, CAN communication, and high-level fault isolation techniques. They learn how advanced vehicle electronics interact, how to evaluate system performance under load, and how component failures propagate through interconnected circuits.
Level 2 Electrical Diagnosis Training prepares technicians for even more specialized training in hybrid and high-voltage systems for light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.
Key Concepts: Advanced multimeter functions, system communication, circuit measurement, waveform analysis, diagnostic strategy, and applied troubleshooting.

WTA’s High Voltage Vehicle Safety Training Course prepares fleet technicians to safely service and support light-, medium-, and heavy-duty electric vehicles. This course teaches technicians essential safety knowledge and controlled procedures required to work around high voltage systems found in battery-electric, hybrid-electric, and fuel-cell electric platforms.
A major focus of the course is risk mitigation. Technicians learn the potential hazards associated with high voltage propulsion systems, how to recognize unsafe conditions, and how to apply proper lockout and verification procedures before beginning any service work. Hands-on training reinforces how to “safe down” an electric vehicle using approved OEM and industry procedures. This training lays the foundation for more advanced EV diagnostics, battery service, and high voltage system repair within WTA’s comprehensive curriculum.
Key Concepts: High-voltage components, PPE requirements, technician hazards, safe-down procedures, Live-Dead-Live verification, and HV safety systems.

WTA’s Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) and Charging Systems Training Course equips fleet technicians with the knowledge and practical skills required to diagnose and support the charging infrastructure that modern electric vehicles depend on.
Technicians learn how EVs interact with charging equipment, including pilot signal generation, proximity detection, load management, and the ‘handshake’ protocols that establish safe energy transfer. They gain a clear understanding of AC and DC charging architecture, charging modes, and how the various components of an EVSE system work together to protect both technicians and vehicle systems.
A major focus of this course is accurate diagnosis of EV charging concerns. By the end of the course, technicians are prepared to safely inspect, diagnose, and support EV charging equipment in fleet environments.
Key Concepts: EVSE types and charge levels, vehicle-charger communication, circuit inspection, pilot signal evaluation, diagnostic procedures, and troubleshooting basics.

The adoption of multiplexed vehicle networks has transformed how modern fleet vehicles operate and communicate. By allowing multiple electronic control units (ECUs) to share data over common communication lines, multiplexing significantly reduces wiring complexity while enabling advanced vehicle functions such as diagnostics, predictive maintenance, and safety system integration.
Understanding how these control systems communicate is critical. Modern vehicles—whether powered by diesel, CNG, propane, hybrid, or electric powertrains—use networked controllers that rely on Controller Area Network (CAN), LIN, and Ethernet communication systems. Technicians who can interpret these signals and diagnose network or module faults can identify issues faster, minimize downtime, and keep vehicles on the road longer.
Key Concepts: Fault identification, wiring diagram interpretation, PLC logic fundamentals, basic programming, network communication, and practical diagnostic techniques.

WTA’s Engine Diagnostic Controls Advanced Technician Training Course equips fleet technicians with the skills required to identify faults quickly, avoid unnecessary parts replacement, and perform precise, cost-effective repairs across modern engine and powertrain platforms.
Hands-on instruction is central to this course. Participants use scan tools, code readers, digital multimeters, pressure and flow testing tools, and oscilloscopes to evaluate engine data, analyze waveforms, interpret diagnostic trouble codes, and verify component operation. Training focuses on real-world diagnostic procedures, ensuring technicians gain the confidence and repeatable methods needed to solve complex performance, drivability, and emissions issues.
By the end of training, technicians have a deeper understanding of advanced engine control strategies and the diagnostic tools required to support high-uptime fleet operations.
Key Concepts: Engine control theory, diagnostic strategies, electronic and mechanical system testing, powertrain communication, and troubleshooting for electric, diesel, and CNG engines.
