This is the first book I've ever read that tells you "WHY" you are doing something and how each component is constructed in "plain english". Once you understand what each part is and more importantly, how each part connects to each other and how they work as a team. Better than any ASE test book, better than a Mitchell manual, this book starts from the basics and you learn how everything works from the inside out. Full of diagnostic tips you don't find in most books, telling you how to use the most simple of tools to test the electronic systems with ease and accuracy. THIS IS ONE SUPER BOOK FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO UNDERSTAND THE MODERN ELECTRONIC AUTOMOBILE WITHOUT A HARVARD DEGREE IN ELECTRONICS !

Halderman's technical manuals are the best i've found. the information is presented in a clear and cohesive way. it is organized well so that it flows from one topic to another and there are great visuals.

Outstanding book, ENORMOUS amounts of information that not only apply to the classes that I'm taking but for the common person with little to barely above basic understanding of automotive diagnostics.

I use Halderman's book as the primary source in automotive electrical training in a classrom setting. ASE study guides are good for revue but presume knowledge of the subject. OEM training materials that I have used are either too basic (Mister Electron) or too specific (GM CS alternators).

too expensive... gotta love how many editions these company's make. My teacher has met the writer of the book at a air conditioning conference and says he is a kind, intelligent and friendly guy so at least im glad hes making some of that money, but the publishers.. they can screw off. The fact the kindle version is like 60-65 $ is just ridiculousness

Needed it for schooling. Great book with tons of very helpful information. I like that not only does it explain how to do something, it has pictures that show you in detail as well. It is paperback, but that wasn't a problem for me.

This book has many small editing errors throughout. Some pages are not numbered.A large percent of the photos are sub-standard in quality(Bad lighting and much too cluttered to see exactly what is being ref. in the text. See pages 472-474 and many others.)I think the Index is very poor. (As an example the word KNOCK is not included!)Many other important subjects are not included as well. Remote door locks are not adequately covered.Many of the glossary items only tell what an entry means, not what it does or how it fits into the system, or where it is covered in the book.The workbook suffers from some of the same problems as above but in addition has some plain lacking/wrong/improper instructions.The CD-ROM does not expand on the book to any great extent. Its videos do not show any engine applications at all. Only vary basic use of a V/A meter. The CD-ROM waveforms are not accompanied with any audio or text so it is hard to know what you are looking at and why.

I reviewed a previous edition and overall this auto electrical diag book is very good among the many auto diag books out there. the author always seems to have the insight of how this system or component really works and how to approach the diag from this specailized knowledge that a standard text or manual simply leaves out.I saw that the new edition is expanded with more electrical diagrams and more explanations;so i would imagine this book will be a student reference and a good seller as well.Best of luck...gerard_sagliocca@yahoo.com
