Title: Diagnosis and Troubleshooting of Automotive Electrical, Electronic, and Computer Systems (3rd Edition) by James D. Halderman, Chase D., Jr. Mitchell, Chase D. Mitchell ISBN: 0-13-079979-3 Publisher: Prentice Hall Pub. Date: 10 October, 2000 Format: Spiral-bound Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $86.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.67 (3 reviews)
Rating: 2
Summary: Below par.
Comment: This book has many small editing errors throughout. Some pages are not numbered.
A large percent of the photos are sub-standard in quality
(Bad lighting and much too cluttered to see exactly what is being ref. in the text. See pages 472-474 and many others.)
I think the Index is very poor. (As an example the word KNOCK is not included!)Many other important subjects are not included as well. Remote door locks are not adequately covered.
Many of the glossary items only tell what an entry means, not what it does or how it fits into the system, or where it is covered in the book.
The workbook suffers from some of the same problems as above but in addition has some plain lacking/wrong/improper instructions.
The CD-ROM does not expand on the book to any great extent. Its videos do not show any engine applications at all. Only vary basic use of a V/A meter. The CD-ROM waveforms are not accompanied with any audio or text so it is hard to know what you are looking at and why.

Summary: Best automotive book I've ever read
Comment: This is the first book I've ever read that tells you "WHY" you are doing something and how each component is constructed in "plain english". Once you understand what each part is and more importantly, how each part connects to each other and how they work as a team. Better than any ASE test book, better than a Mitchell manual, this book starts from the basics and you learn how everything works from the inside out. Full of diagnostic tips you don't find in most books, telling you how to use the most simple of tools to test the electronic systems with ease and accuracy. THIS IS ONE SUPER BOOK FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO UNDERSTAND THE MODERN ELECTRONIC AUTOMOBILE WITHOUT A HARVARD DEGREE IN ELECTRONICS !
Rating: 4
Summary: Automotive Electrical Systems
Comment: I use Halderman's book as the primary source in automotive electrical training in a classrom setting. ASE study guides are good for revue but presume knowledge of the subject. OEM training materials that I have used are either too basic (Mister Electron) or too specific (GM CS alternators).
