4.0 out of 5 stars Automobile Electrical and Electronic Systems by Tom Denton, November 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Automobile Electrical and Electronic Systems (Paperback)

I found this quite a good book, in that it covers forthcoming technologies such as CANBUS and drive by wire very well and gives a good overview of current electrical technology used in the Automotive sector. It is not intended as "workshop manual style" book to aid in repair or diagnostics of electrical problems but to give the reader a thorough understanding of advanced automotive electrical systems. One criticism is that it is lacking circuit diagrams that students might find useful in understanding certain systems, but this is probably to make the book more readable to all.
