Tenneco Inc. has introduced an intensive
emission control diagnostics training workshop under the
Walker® exhaust brand that will reach
automotive service professionals in close to 60 North
American cities during 2011.
The Walker Converter Diagnostics and Strategies Workshop is
an in-depth technical seminar designed to help repair
professionals eliminate emission control comebacks by
efficiently and accurately diagnosing problems upstream of
the catalytic converter that effect overall emission
performance. The 3.5-hour workshop includes detailed tips
related to modern scan tools as well as a broad range of
other diagnostic instruments needed to troubleshoot most
emission problems. The
Walker workshop was presented on a pilot
basis in 38 cities last year and received rave reviews from
participants.
“Last year’s sessions were so well received that we’re
receiving dozens of requests for visits to specific
markets. Shop owners and technicians are interested in
results-oriented training, and the overwhelming success of
our pilot series of Walker workshops tells us we’ve hit the
mark in terms of content and value,” said Chuck Osgood,
manager of sales operations and training, Tenneco. “As a
result of this program, we believe technicians will be able
to more accurately diagnose catalytic converter replacement
opportunities and shops will see a sharp decrease in
emission control comebacks.”
Workshop participants learn from L1
ASE-certified Master
Technician instructors. Participants will receive a
comprehensive Converter Diagnostics Manual (valued at $75)
and user-friendly 13-Step Converter Diagnostics Flip Chart.
Each session includes real-world emission control case
studies and in-depth discussion of common issues such as
recurring P0420 codes.
The Walker Converter Diagnostics and Strategies Workshop
begins in Concord, NH, during March and ends in Salt Lake
City, UT this October. The workshop will be held in 15
states and eight Canadian provinces, including Alberta,
Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick,
Nova Scotia, Ontario and Quebec.
