Light-Duty/Medium-Duty: Drivetrain Components
Light-Duty/Medium-Duty: Drivetrain Components
All conventional vehicles have a drivetrain and, while there are many different configurations, the components used in the different systems are common to all vehicles in one form or another. In this class, you’ll learn about the components that make up the drivetrain and how to diagnose and repair issues with them. This class teaches these concepts with text, images, diagrams, animations, and quizzes. After you finish all the labs and quizzes and score a 70% or higher on your first try, you’ll receive a certificate of completion.
