Automotive Technology: A Systems Approach

by Jack Erjavec

Advancing technology continues to improve the operation and integration of the various systems of the automobile. These changes present ongoing challenges for students to become successful automotive technicians. The third Canadian edition of Automotive Technology: A Systems Approach was designed and written to continue to prepare students for those challenges. This book concentrates on the need-to-know essentials of the various automotive systems―and how they have changed from the vehicles of yesterday― the operation of today’s vehicles, and what to expect in the near future. New technology is addressed throughout the book, but some older technology remains in this edition as technicians will still see this technology in older vehicles. Each topic is explained in a logical way, slowly but surely. Many years of teaching have provided the author team of this text with a good sense of how students read and study technical material, as well as what draws their interest to a topic and keeps it there. This knowledge has been incorporated in the writing and the features of this book.

Vast coverage of topics, comparable to Automotive Technology by J. Halderman. Good theory explanation and hands-on step by step, although some procedures feel lacking and hurried.

Beautiful photos and colorful illustration makes this a delectable read.

I've only read about 100 pages so far, but I've already learned so much. This is a great book for anyone who wants to learn how cars work! It's written in plain English and builds from first principles on simple concepts, which makes it pretty easy to understand. For the parts that are confusing, I like asking questions to ChatGPT or Grok to help me learn. Overall it's a great book I would absolutely recommend it!

So far I've read seven hundred pages or so during the course of my class. I plan to read the whole thing. The most comprehensive book on automotives I've seen.
