Overview

Automotive Heating and Air Conditioning covers practical skills for servicing automotive heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. The text is written to ASE standards (A7) and many tasks of the ASE (A7) content area. It focuses on the generic theory underlying the operation, diagnosis and repair of the units and subassemblies found across makes and types of vehicles.

Automotive Heating and Air Conditioning is designed for your success. Its learning outcomes and objectives are aligned with ASE standards, and its concise, easy-to-read chapters present content in manageable sections. Case studies will help you handle real-world customer issues, while step-by-step photo sequences prepare you for tasks such as diagnosing and troubleshooting faults.

The 9th Edition has been fully updated and expanded to match the latest ASE tasks and address instructor and reviewer feedback. This text is part of the Pearson Automotive Professional Technician Series.
