The Conversion of a General Motors Cadillac SRX to Drive-By-Wire Status
For the past 25 years, by-wire systems have been used in the most advanced flying machines known to man. In the 1960s, McDonnell Douglas, now The Boeing Company produced the F-15 Strike Eagle, a magnificent fighter jet with fly-by-wire capability. Fly-by-wire is where each mechanism is controlled electronically. The mechanical linkages are removed and every movement is communicated through electric signals alone. The idea of fly-by-wire forever changed the concept that a mechanical linkage has to initiate movement (i.e. pitch, roll, and yaw) of a vehicle. The use of electronic motors to control movement has proven to be more responsive and a more efficient use of space and energy. The responsiveness of the fly-by-wire system is one of the heralding accomplishments that make the F-15 such an engineering accomplishment which can fly at 2.5 Mach speeds. Thus the by-wire control is now setting the stage for better, faster vehicles in the air and on land.

Toyota Hybrid System (THS)
The hybrid system is a type of powertrain that uses a combination of two types of motive forces, such as an engine and a motor (MG2). This system is characterized by its skillful use of two types of motive forces according to the driving conditions. It maximizes the strengths of each of the motive forces and complements their weaknesses. Thus, it can achieve a highly responsive, dynamic performance, as well as a dramatic reduction in fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions. The THS can be broadly divided into two systems: the series hybrid system, and the parallel hybrid system.

Ford EGR System – Know the system and you can fix it
If you know how something works… you can fix it. No matter what system you deal with on a car or truck, it can be fixed if you have the right knowledge and information. Some technicians do not have the luxury of factory service manuals for every vehicle that rolls into the shop. A computer system with technical information like AllData or Mitchell on Demand may not be available either. In these cases it is even more important for the technician to understand the effected system. In other cases, if a trouble tree is available, it might not explain what is being checked in each step and may confuse the technician even further. Besides, could technical information ever contain typographical errors?
