Understanding Engine Management

Course Summary

A solid understanding of vehicle engine management helps you identify and resolve many of the drivability issues you encounter.

This one-hour plus webinar, presented live in the shop by TST’s “G” Jerry Truglia and Pierre Respaut, will offer a quick overview of PCM functions, covering inputs, outputs, and how sensors and actuators regulate engine performance. This class will discuss sensors, actuators, fuel trim, ignition systems, and O₂/Air Fuel sensors essential for efficient engine operation.

Attendees will learn how to:

  • Explain the primary functions of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), including how inputs, outputs, sensors, and actuators interact to control engine performance.
  • Identify key engine management components—such as fuel trim systems, ignition systems, and O₂/air-fuel ratio sensors—and describe their role in efficient engine operation.
  • Apply a foundational understanding of PCM logic to interpret sensor and actuator behavior during real-world diagnostic and performance scenarios.
