KEYNOTE LUNCHEON11:30 am – 12:45 pmMACS is pleased to announce that NASCAR driver David Starr will be the Keynote Speaker at the 2020 Training Event Keynote luncheon sponsored by Mahle Service Solutions. Competitive, determined and passionate with over 20 years of racing experience under his belt, David Starr has proven himself as one of the top racers in the United States. His ambition was sparked at a young age as he trailed on the heels of his father, a racing crew chief, to the track each week. Starting out at his local Houston dirt tracks, David climbed the ladder gaining championships and victories under his belt. He learned the skills and mechanics behind racing on dirt and pavement, vaulted to success, and entered the then named NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 1998. After more than a decade of racing, David had racked up wins in the Truck Series and competed for championships.

In 2014, David moved to the NASCAR Xfi nity Series where he drove the #66 Toyota for Carl Long; as well as others such as AJ Foyt, and NFL player, Randy Moss. David currently competes full-time in the NASCAR Xfi nity Series, driving the No. 52 Chevrolet Camaro for Jimmy Means Racing and part-time in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, driving the No. 51 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Rick Ware Racing and the No. 97 Toyota Camry for Obaika Racing.

“David has been involved in racing since he was 14-years old and knows the business of racing inside and out. After spending time with him we are convinced our attendees will be fascinated by a life-long driver’s perspective on the sport,” remarked Elvis L. Hoffpauir, MACS president and chief operating offi cer.

Electrical Systems Power Management - Impact on HVAC Operation PETER ORLANDOCarquest Technical InstituteWinter Complaint - “My rear defogger, heated seats and mirrors don’t seem to be working right.” Is it truly a systems malfunction or is the vehicle load shedding?Summer Complaint - “My A/C needs a charge.” Is it an A/C problem or is the vehicle load shedding? Can the HVAC system on a modern vehicle be telling us that there’s a bad battery on board? YES! What percentage of time will the HVAC system be cycled OFF during a load shed level 3 event on a 2017 Chevy Malibu? Are there levels of load shedding? YES!

The customer’s awareness of this will begin gradually, and eventually they’ll bring the vehicle in for service. The technician will usually fi nd ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with the A/C or heating system. The modern power management system on today’s vehicles is vastly different than just a few years ago. We are now measuring, calculating, and reporting the voltage, current, temperature, state of charge, health, and function across multiple networks to optimize vehicle performance. Ever realize you left the headlights on, and wonder how the battery didn’t go dead overnight? The answer is Power Management. However, as the vehicle begins to age, so does the battery. Consumer convenience of certain climate control system functions will be impeded, and at times, not appear to be working at all. The key to all of this is knowing what climate control systems functionality will be impacted by any electrical system defi ciencies or degradation. The class will include checking vital signs with a scan tool; load shed criteria and load reduction level counters; understanding net battery amp hours; proactive alerts: diagnostics and prognostics. Students that take this seminar will have a thorough understanding of domestic system load shedding, and the effect it has on HVAC system functionality.

The Challenge of Change; HVAC Technology Changes that Make Modern Air Conditioning Systems more Challenging to Diagnose and Repair PETER McARDLE Four SeasonsA myriad of changes to systems design and operation over the past ten to fi fteen years can make diagnosing and repairing a modern air conditioning system diabolically diffi cult. The greater use of computer controls including volume fl ow sensors, eVDCs (electronically controlled variable displacement compressors), electro-viscous fan clutches, evaporator thermistors, multi-speed cooling fans, active grille shutters, dual zone systems etc. can really darken your diagnostic day. Couple these technologies with changes in basic component design such as the use of fl at tube, multi-pass, multi-path fl ow, sub-cooling condensers, idle stop evaporators, oil retention compressors etc. and it can be overwhelming to know where to begin your diagnosis of a poorly performing system.“Join us for this class at MACS 2020 when we will explain some of these changes in detail and their impact on system operation and diagnostics. We will look at some of the issues and failures associated with these technologies and how best to cut to the diagnostic chase.”

MICHAEL R. INGVARDSEN • Nissens Automotive A/SWith increased focus on fuel economy and exhaust levels of cars in Europe, A/C systems have been developed and improved at a pace not seen before. EU demand for manufacturers to improve range have also had serious impacts. Buyers now have high expectations for system performance, even in smaller vehicles with 0.8 liter engines. Serious changes are required to accommodate both buyers and EU regulations. Micro and macro tube condensers, ECV compressors, electronic expansion valves as well as the change in refrigerant and oil have been a challenge for manufacturers and the European aftermarket. New technologies demand in-depth training and understanding of A/C systems to ensure a qualifi ed diagnostic procedure. Why do ECV compressors break down quicker than fi xed displacement? Is component structure the same? Is system load the same? Has the system endured severe heat load or is it just designed to the minimum standard? All these questions must be answered to understand A/C systems in European vehicles today, and to determine the root cause of system failure.

JOSE MIGUEL DIAZ SASTRE • Sanden International EuropeThe speaker will address electrifi cation of the motor vehicle and the impacts that will have on the A/C technician, including how powertrain cooling systems work, their differences to what we currently see in today’s vehicles, service tips and pitfalls.

Selling Testing Profi tably (Morning) RICK WHITE 180BIZSound the trumpets because this clinic will show you a proven way to sell diagnostics profi tably every time! As testing is acceptable to customers, you should get paid for it and stop giving your time and expertise away for free. This clinic also will review typical testing scenarios and demonstrate why the typical methodologies don’t work and give you a strategy that will work.

To Install or Not to Install (Afternoon) RICK WHITE 180BIZInevitably a customer or potential customer will compare your part pricings to a retail parts store. The customer can get parts “cheaper” than you can, right? It’s an uncomfortable situation for many auto repair shop owners. Under pressure you feel compelled to use parts supplied by the customer. Shop owners and managers are often unaware of the pitfalls and liabilities when they agree to install these very same parts. Some work is better than no work – right? In this seminar, I examine those pitfalls. I’ll offer alternatives to help you make the right decision “to install or not to install” with more of the facts. Get that work without installing someone else’s parts.


2020 FCA Update (Including the Jeep Gladiator Pickup) AL McAVOYFIAT Chrysler AutomobilesFCA was the fi rst OEM to implement widespread use of R-1234yf A/C systems, and for 2020 virtually all Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Fiat and Alfa Romeo vehicles use “yf” refrigerant. This session will discuss new technology, chillers on the PHEV Pacifi ca and Challenger, and other system changes including proper diagnosis and service of these vehicles, R-1234yf compressor applications along with recommended oil fi ll and type, and the new 48-volt systems. Includes an update on the Waymo / Pacifi ca hybrid autonomous vehicle project.

Climate Control Sensor and Actuator Diagnostics KARL SCHNEIDER Robert BoschThe days of simple air conditioning and heating repairs are long gone, which means the strategy for diagnosing these systems needs to change. Today’s climate control systems are fully integrated, using a complex vehicle network with shared modules, sensors and actuators. The answer for the customer’s concern could be a simple sensor failure or a stuck actuator blend door. This session sponsored by Bosch will help you develop a solid strategy for diagnosing the complete system, which will ensure the issue is diagnosed accurately and effi ciently the fi rst time.

Is Spock in the House? Modern Climate Control Logical Procedures JIM WILSON AVIWe’ve come a long way since only using gauges and checking temperatures.
