This new edition features an exciting new design, and new images have been incorporated throughout the text to show the latest tools, equipment, and diagnostic techniques. The new Table of Contents follows a logical progression, with the service and repair chapters now immediately following the corresponding theory chapters. -A new Shop Talk feature located at the beginning of each chapter explains why the material covered in the chapter is relevant to the study of auto electricity and electronics. New chapters 31 and 32, Battery Electric Vehicles and Battery Electric Vehicle Diagnosis and Repair, provide detailed coverage of these important topics.
