Automotive Online Training Shop

Satisfaction guaranteed

Great, you’ve arrived to the Prodiags Online Training Shop
If you’re looking for traditional automotive books or just “how-to” videos you’re in the wrong place.

Our Training Modules are developed by top-tier mechanics and automotive instructors, who have realised that skills do not develop by observing others work or watching videos. Successful automotive training matches the mechanics’ practical needs, does not slip off-topic, gives examples from actual problems, and best of all, motivates you to use your brain. The same recipe is the backbone of the Prodiags Training Modules — without traveling or fixed time schedules.

The storytelling in the Training Module is groundbreaking and the studies are visually intelligent. The animations make complicated things simple to understand, the pictures give a contact point to the automotive technology and real work, videos serve as examples when needed, and texts elevate your imagination. Thanks to our customers, the modules also include a printable study material, which guides you as a “virtual teacher”. It’s practically applied tasks are based on real work experience.

Whenever you think you master the subject, you can challenge yourself with the assessments. Warning, without studying you will probably not pass them — but you can always try.

As a proof of your knowledge, to you and to others, you can print out a certificate after passing the final exam.

Power Steering

18.00 € (~$18.80)

Power steering systems development and electrification has both lowered the fuel consumption and reduced their need for service and repair. Electric power steering systems becoming more common has also allowed for additional equipment, such as Parking Assist and Lane Departure Aid to become more common on vehicles today. Hydraulic and electro-hydraulic systems have not disappeared though, due to greater steering feel.

Why this module?

All on-road vehicles have power steering; hydraulic, electric or a combination – electro-hydraulic. In vehicles with a combustion engine, the power steering was quite similar in different makes and models for a long time, but modern power steering systems are smarter and more efficient.

What will you learn?

The power steering and steering structures are located in the passenger compartment and engine bay. The most common jobs are checking the hydraulic systems fluid level and checking for leaks, and replacement of the joints connected to the steering rack and wheel support. When performing repairs inside the cabin, the steering column is often well hidden, and the operation of it and components connected to it is not always understood.

In the study, you will go through different power steering structures, their components and operation. You will understand how the fluid pressure is led through the steering valve in direction with the steering motion when the driver starts or finishes the motion.

The electrification of power steering systems has created structures that have allowed for moving components, partly or completely, from the engine bay into the cabin. Electric power steering systems have brought solutions like Column EPS, Single-Pinion EPS, Dual-Pinion EPS and Parallel Axis EPS. The development of power steering systems have freed up space in the engine bay and brought more precise steering and sensors, such as the steering torque sensor and steering angle sensor.
