3.0 out of 5 starsToo much information
By J. Miller on May 7, 2009
Format: Paperback
As a college teacher of an automotive electrical & electronics course, I use this book as a text. I chose it because it is the best book I could find, but I am still not very satisfied with it. Only about half of the material is useful to someone who is learning how to understand, diagnose, and repair automotive electrical systems. The other half of the material is confusing and makes electrical systems seem more intimidating than they really are. For this reason, I only assign students to read segments of each book. I often get comments from students about how confusing the book is on a certain subject--and I would have to agree with them in most cases.

There are also a fair number of inaccuracies in the text and the diagrams. Overall, it is about the best textbook of this type, but it really needs to be streamlined and more effectively written!

4.0 out of 5 starswill get you by..
By J. Amaro on July 25, 2008
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I purchased this book because it was required for my automotive electronics class.. Although it's a two volume set, a lot of the same information can be found on both books. Never the less, it's a nice book to learn from and use as a reference when trouble shooting electrical circuits.

One huge issue though is because it's written with a students perspective in mind the quizzes/questions at the end of each chapter do not come with answers that you can use to cross check!

2.0 out of 5 starsComprehensive but lacking enough detail to explain theory
By Spaminator on May 8, 2008
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This like all automotive books from Thompson Delmar publishing tries to cover everything. The problem is it doesn't have enough detail to fully explain the theories being discussed. How can Hall effect sensors be fully explained without a picture of what it actually looks like in an automotive shop environment? Automechanics must know how to test a hall effect sensor to properly diagnose a crank no start condition. This test is done on the signal wire coming out of the sensor. There is only one signal wire coming from a hall effect sensor in an engine. On page 312, it shows a hall effect sensor with two signal wires going out of it. Which wire would be tested? The picture is misleading. That's just one example of many of how this book cuts corners and shortchanges in explaining.
If you need this book for class, pray that you have a conscientious teacher who will fully explain all the misleading pictures in this book. If you don't have a good teacher, you will most likely have to buy books by Halderman to understand what is being discussed in class and then you will be prepared to understand this book. If you can understand everything in this book then you are either a genius or you have been exposed to automotive electronics in a professional or hobbyist setting. In either case why even bother signing up for an automotive electronics class? I would give one star to this book but it challenged me and pointed in me in the right direction of what to study if I'm going to make any money from repairing automotive electronics. For that it gets two stars.
